- Based on the histomorphological classification of the tumor type according to Laurén, the extent of the resection can already be planned preoperatively (1, 2).
- For adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction (AEG II/III), a frozen section examination of the proximal resection margin should be performed, especially in locally advanced tumors and after preoperative chemotherapy (5).
- By removing a sufficient number of even non-cancer-involved lymph nodes, a benefit can be achieved (7).
- The value of laparoscopic resection cannot currently be assessed due to the lack of randomized studies (1, 3).
- The postulated advantages of preserving the duodenal passage have not been proven. The formation of a replacement stomach/pouch formation is advocated, although there are few conclusive studies (2).
