Oesophageal and stomach cancers cohort

Grouping C16.0 SCC tumours with the lower third of the oesophagus is more appropriate than grouping them in the cardia and oesophago-gastric junction (OGJ) stomach group (C16.0). This is because ICD 10 C16.0 does not currently distinguish between the cardia (part of the stomach) and the oesophago-gastric junction (OGJ) (where the oesophagus and stomach join). ................
