Esophago-gastric cancer
Various tumors occur in the esophagus, the most common of which are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell tumors. Tumors located below the esophagogastric junction are called gastric tumors and are usually gastric adenocarcinoma.
There are also other tumors such as GIST, neuroendocrine tumors, and metastases from other types of cancer. These fall under other tumor types.
All patients with esophageal and gastric tumors are discussed within a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, medical imaging specialists, and pathologists.
Commercial and academic clinical studies are ongoing.
Our research focus is primarily on adenocarcinomas of esophageal/gastric origin.
Prospective research is underway in which we are continuously compiling a database of tissue and blood samples from patients undergoing curative treatment for esophageal/gastric adenocarcinoma.
