The surgical treatment of cancer of the cardia is controversial and results are often disappointing. Concern exists not only with regards to the surgical approach but also to the extent of the resection. The authors analyze their experience over a 20-year period adopting almost exclusively a "limited" esophagogastrectomy with a wide regional lymphadenectomy through a left thoracotomy. The aim of the study is to determine if this approach actually plays a role in the treatment of this tumor.
