Core Tip	The topic is interesting and this manuscript contains the most recent data briefly highlighting it. More than half of the patients with gastroesophageal junction cancer present with inoperable disease at the time of diagnosis so they need palliative treatment to relieve dysphagia and its consequences. Stent placement ensures good quality of life during the short survival time but it has some additional specific problems in this particular location.
