Role of shrinkage in esophageal–gastric junction cancer
The esophagus undergoes shrinkage after resection and fixation. The surgical in situ margin is greater than the specimen margin, measured by the pathologist. The length of disease‐free margins is critical to therapeutic planning. We propose specimen fixing to avoid discrepancies between the operativ...
