Abstract Purpose Neoadjuvant treatment is an accepted standard approach for treating locally advanced esophago-gastric adenocarcinomas. Despite a response of the primary tumor, a significant percentage dies from tumor recurrence. The aim of this retrospective exploratory study from two academic centers was to identify predictors of survival and recurrence in histopathologically responding patients. Methods Two hundred thirty one patients with adenocarcinomas (esophagus: n0185, stomach: n046, cT3/4, cN0/+, cM0) treated with preoperative chemotherapy (n0212) or chemoradiotherapy (n 019) followed by resection achieved a Ott Katja and Blank Susanne contributed equally to this work.
