Isolated metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma to the spleen are very infrequent. Usually, there are multiple metastases from gastric cancer, and isolated splenic metastases are very rare [Lam and Tang: Arch Pathol Lab Med 2000;124:526-530] because of certain anatomical and physiological characteristics (e.g., angulation between the splenic artery and celiac trunk, paucity of afferent lymph fl...

Abstract For patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma or cancer of the gastroesophageal junction, radical esophagectomy 2-field lymphadenectomy is cornerstone multimodality treatment curative intent. Both conventional minimally invasive (MIE) and robot assisted (RAMIE) were shown to be superior compared open transthoracic considering postoperative complications. However, no randomized comparison...

Carcinomas of the lower esophagus, gastroesophageal junction or stomach rarely metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes. Furthermore, the parotid gland is an even more unusual site of metastasis from a carcinoma located at these sites. We describe the case of a 45-year-old male patient who was diagnosed 2 months after transhiatal gastroesophagectomy for a primary gastric adenocarcinoma with meta...

BACKGROUND Due to low tolerance to chemotherapy, the maximum number of cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is 4 in adjuvant gastric clinical trials. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of adjuvant epirubicin-based triplet chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of resected locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcin...

Metastasis to breast from nonmammary malignancy is only about 1.3-2.7%. A few cases of squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus and adenocarcinoma of stomach metastasizing to breast have been reported, but this is probably the first report of breast metastasis from esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer in the English literature. Herein we report a case of a 32-year-old patient diagnosed as adenocar...
