Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction: characteristics of female patients and young adult patients based on a 12-year retrospective and prospective multicenter clinicoepidemiological cohort study in Japan

Histologically undifferentiated AEGJ cancers were more frequent in female patients without any associated factors and in young adult patients. Factors associated with AEGJ may differ between women and men, but they are similar in young adults and older adults. No increase in young adult patients with AEGJ was observed in the 12-year study.
