Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Mediastinal lymph node dissection has been adopted as standard treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction(AEJ). This multi-center, exploratory, prospective, cohort study aims at provide standard technical details of laparoscopic mediastinal lymph node dissection, and explore the potential clinical effects, gather key information for following study regarding sample size calculation, primary outcome and feasibility.
