A prospective Canadian gastroesophageal cancer database: What have we learned?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimal literature exists on outcomes for Canadian patients with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). The objective of our study was to establish a prospective clinical database to evaluate demographic characteristics, presentation and outcomes of patients with GEA.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with GEA were recruited from Jan. 30, 2017, to Aug. 30, 2020. Data collected included demographic characteristics, presentation, treatment and survival. A multivariable model for overall survival in patients treated with curative intent was created using sex, lymph node status, resection margin status, age and tumour location as variables.

Results

A total of 122 patients with adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction were included. Median age was 65
