A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. He received 1 course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with S-1. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the primary tumor showed a remarkable decrease in size. Subtotalesophagectomy, D2 lymph node dissection, and reconstruction with a gastric tube through the posterior mediastinal route were performed. Pathological examination showed that most of the cancer cells had been destroyed, with a part where adenocarcinoma mucosa was seen. We successfully treated a case of advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, with neoadjuvant S-1 chemotherapy and surgicalresection.
