Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) remains a significant clinical problem that is increasing in incidence and is associated with a poor prognosis. The majority of patients present with advanced disease and less than 50% undergo curative treatment. To diagnose GE junction mass with conventional procedure like Barium swallow where endoscopy cannot be performed, CECT is done to access the potential spread of disease.
