Abstract    The incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has been an alarming rise worldwide during recent decades. Due to the anatomic location of the tumor, there are still many controversies about surgical approaches, regional lymphadenectomy, extents of esophageal and gastric resection, efficacy of minimally invasive surgery, etc. Standard and individual therapy strategies, based on precisely pre-operative classification and staging, should be selected cautiously according to the basic principles of radical surgery in malignant tumor. A multidisciplinary team will be essential for optimal diagno.sis and management in the near future.
