ObjectiveTo review and summarize the research progress of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) in staging, surgical treatment, endoscopic treatment and adjuvant therapy in recent years, so as to provide reference and help for the follow-up research and treatment of this disease.MethodLiterature review was used to review the literatures on AEG treatment in various databases.ResultsThe incidence of AEG had increased rapidly in recent years, with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Siewert typing had allowed researchers to gain insight into the disease, and treatments were increasingly diversified. At present, the main treatment was still radical surgery. Because AEG was adjacent to the esophagus and stomach, there were many controversies about its staging, surgical approach, resection range, digestive tract reconstruction, adjuvant treatment and so on, especially Siewert type Ⅱ.ConclusionsThe surgical approach, resection range, and laparoscopic surgery of Siewert typeⅡcan choose according to esophageal involvement distance judgment, pathological staging is uncertain, still need several studies to reach a consensus. With the application of laparoscopy and adjuvant therapy, how to select individualized treatment options that require multidisciplinary collaboration for further study.
