Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancers are not only located in regions anatomically difficult for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but they also have higher clinicopathological malignant potential than non-junctional gastric cancers (NJC). Despite this, no ESD-based comparative studies of junctional cancer (JC) and NJC have been conducted to date. The aims of this study were to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics of EGJ cancers and the short- and long-term outcomes after ESD.
