Official Title: Signet Ring Cells in Esophageal and GE Junction Carcinomas Have a More Aggressive Biological Behavior
Brief Summary: There has been much controversy surrounding the biologic behavior and prognosis of esophageal signet ring cell (SRCs) containing carcinomas. To clarify the biologic behavior of SRCs, the investigators compared the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of SRCs with other adenocarcinomas (ADC) of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ).
