Simple Summary The management of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer is multidisciplinary, and due to its specificity, requires a high-volume center with high medical and surgical expertise. The aim of this narrative review was to critically analyze the evidence and guidelines in the literature and examine the tips and tricks in surgical and medical treatment to increase the long-term outcome of patients with this kind of tumor. Abstract Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) carcinoma represents a specific site of disease, given the opportunities for multimodal clinical care and management and the possibilities of combined treatments. It encompasses various clinical subgroups of disease that are heterogeneous and deserve different treatments; therefore, the guidelines have progressively evolved over time, considering the evidence provided by clinical trials. The aim of this narrative review was to summarize the main evidence, which orientates the current guidelines, and to collect the main ongoing studies to address existing gray areas.
