Appetite-preserving gastrectomy (APG) for esophagogastric junction cancer: preserving the residual stomach as an endocrine organ
APG is a safe procedure that preserves the residual stomach as an endocrine organ, maintains ghrelin secretion and appetite, and prevents muscle loss. However, further trials are required to compare the efficacy of APG with total gastrectomy in preventing postoperative appetite loss.
