    Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction has a high morbidity and mortality rate, with a 5-year survival rate below 30% in Western countries.

  • 2

    Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgical resection is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophagogastric junction cancer.

  • 3

    Tumor heterogeneity limits the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, leading to poor responses and increased toxicity in some patients.

  • 4

    This study aims to utilize 3D contrast-enhanced CT radiomics to predict the response of locally advanced AEG to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

  • 5

    A total of 239 patients with locally advanced AEG were analyzed to evaluate clinical and pathological characteristics and NAC response.
