ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Different types of esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma have different operation methods.
Research motivation
We need to determine the optimal surgical approach for Siewert II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction to improve lung function and the prognosis of patients.
Research objectives
To investigate and compare the surgical effects, postoperative changes in pulmonary function, and prognoses of two approaches to treating combined esophagogastric cancer.
Research methods
Patients with esophageal gastric cancer who received combined treatment in our hospital were selected, and the relevant indicators were compared after grouping.
Research results
The transabdominal approach has the advantages of less trauma, less impact on lung function and fewer complications.
Research conclusions
Transabdominal surgical approaches is suitable for older patients with frailty, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, or more complicated diseases.
Research perspectives
It was a single-center retrospective study with a short duration of follow-up. Therefore, the results need to be confirmed by prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical studies.
