The aim of this study was to combine the anatomy and physiology of the human gastroesophageal junction (the junction between the esophagus and the stomach) into a unified computer model. A three-dimensional (3D) computer model of the gastroesophageal junction was created using cross-sectional images from a human cadaver. The governing equations of finite deformation elasticity were incorporated...

background barrett’s oesophagus is a pre-malignant condition at gastroesophageal junction in which normal squamous epithelium is replaced by columnar shape epithelium, which predisposes oesophageal adenocarcinoma. it is known that barrett’s oesophagus evolves as a consequence of chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. although progression of barrett’s oesophagus to adenocarcinoma is still un...

Metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma to the urinary bladder is extremely rare. We describe a previously healthy 49-year-old female with recent diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction with metastatic disease to the liver. Biopsy was positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH). She received six cycles of Cisplatin,...

BACKGROUND The gold standard of adjuvant treatment after surgical resection of adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) is chemoradiotherapy. We retrospectively evaluated chemotherapy without radiotherapy in stomach and GEJ adenocarcinoma, using a combination of etoposide, adriamycin and cisplatin (modified EAP). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-five patients with completely...
