CARDIA
Surgery for adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) type II: Transthoracic esophagectomy vs. transhiatal extended gastrectomyCARDIA is designed as non-IMP/non-MD clinical trial. The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of transhiatal extended gastrectomy with transthoracic esophagectomy as curative surgical therapy for patients with GEJ type II adenocarcinomas since nowadays both surgical strategies are in use with ambivalent results regarding oncological outcome, postoperative morbidity, and quality of life.
