  Advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, often referred to as GEJ adenocarcinoma, represents a particularly challenging and aggressive cancer subtype. This malignancy originates in the cells lining the junction between the stomach and the esophagus, known as the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). The tumor's epicenter is situated within the GEJ region in this type of carcinoma. GEJ adenocarcinoma is associated with a substantial clinical burden due to its high propensity for advancing to later stages and its generally poor prognosis. The disease's progression to an advanced or metastatic state intensifies the challenges patients and healthcare providers face. Metastatic GEJ adenocarcinoma implies that the cancer has spread from its initial site to other body parts, significantly reducing the chances of successful treatment and long-term survival. Most patients diagnosed with GEJ adenocarcinoma present with advanced stages of the disease. Subtle or nons...
