Introduction:  The optimal proximal margin length for Siewert type II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEJ) remains debated. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different proximal margin lengths on short- and long-term prognosis.
Methods: In this retrospective study, clinical data from patients undergoing surgery for Siewert type II/III AEJ between January 2019 and January 2024 were collected. Patients were stratified into three groups based on the length of the proximal margin (0.5– 2 cm, 2– 4 cm, and > 4 cm). Short-term outcomes, including R0 resection rates and complications, along with long-term survival (OS and PFS), were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to assess prognostic impacts.
Results: A total of 173 patients were included (0.5– 2 cm, n=57; 2– 4 cm, n=60; > 4 cm, n=56). The 0.5– 2 cm group had significantly higher R1 resection (12.28% vs 1.67%/0%) and anastomotic recurrence rates but a lower anastomotic leak incidence compared to the other groups (P< 0.05). The > 4 cm group showed longer operative times and higher leak rates. Survival analysis revealed poorer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the 0.5– 2 cm group versus other groups (P< 0.05), with no significant difference between the 2– 4 cm and > 4 cm groups. Cox regression confirmed that a margin length > 2 cm reduced progression risk (HR=0.793, 95% CI 0.641– 0.981, P=0.033), particularly for tumors < 4 cm, Siewert type II, and intestinal-type Lauren classification.
Conclusion: A 2– 4 cm proximal margin appears to optimize the prognosis in Siewert type II/III AEJ, balancing oncologic safety and surgical outcomes. This margin length is especially beneficial for tumors < 4 cm, Siewert II classification, and intestinal-type histology. A personalized surgical strategy is recommended.
