[Surgical treatment of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction type II : Comparison between transhiatal extended gastrectomy and thoracoabdominal esophagectomy].

Our findings in a rather small cohort are concordant with most studies showing no differences or a trend towards better survival after TAE. Other studies found no significant difference regarding recurrence-free survival as well. In conclusion, no significant differences were found between TEG and TAE in surgical treatment of AEG type II.
