Summary

The incidence of cancer of the esophagogastric junction has rapidly risen in recent three decades, and surgery still remains the optimum therapy. For Siewert's type II and III cancer, esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy after subtotal gastrectomy are regarded as the two main surgical approaches. Esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy brings high survival rate and low local recurrence rate which may also induces pulmonary infection or regurgitation. Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy after subtotal gastrectomy needs reconstruction of the gastric tube and the width of reconstruction tube was a key factor to predicate prognosis. However, no evidence supplies a comprehensive standard on the width of reconstruction tube which often ranges from 3 cm to 6 cm. Both narrow and wide reconstruction tubes have their own advantages and disadvantages. So the prospective trail recruits patients into three groups: total gastrostomy group (TG group), wide gastric tube group (WG group) and narrow gastric tube group (NG group). And the investigators compare the quality of life using integrated questionnaire of QLQ-STO22 and QLQ-C30 and related symptom relief as main endpoints.
