Siewert classification (GEJ tumours)
A way of classifying cancers at the junction of the oesophagus and stomach by where their centre sits, which decides whether they are treated as oesophageal or gastric.
Type I (1-5 cm above the junction) is treated as oesophageal adenocarcinoma (CROSS or FLOT); type II (1 cm above to 2 cm below) either; type III (2-5 cm below) as gastric cancer (perioperative FLOT ± durvalumab). Matters for trial eligibility and surgical approach.
