ICD-11 code : 2B71.0;
Preferred Label : Adenocarcinoma of oesophagogastric junction;
ICD-11 definition : An adenocarcinoma that arises from and straddles the junction of the stomach and esophagus.
The category of adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction also includes the
majority of adenocarcinomas previously called gastric cardia adenocarcinomas. Squamous
cell carcinomas that affect or cross the junction of the stomach and esophagus are
classified as carcinomas of the distal esophagus. Adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal
junction occurs more often in Caucasian middle aged and elderly males. Clinical signs
and symptoms include dysphagia, abdominal pain, and weight loss. The prognosis depends
on the completeness of the surgical resection, the number of lymph nodes involved
by cancer, and the presence or absence of postoperative complications.;
