Chemoradiation Versus Esophagectomy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer
The aim of this study is to compare outcomes in Chinese patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer who have received either surgery or definitive chemoradiation (CRT) by the randomized, open-label, multicenter trial.
Esophageal Self-expandable Metal Stent for Malignant Strictures: a Safety and Efficacy Study
A single center prospective observational non-randomized clinical study to assess the safety and efficacy of placement of a new esophageal self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) for palliation of patients with malignant dysphagia.
Goal-directed Enteral Nutritional Perioperative Management
This clinical trial aims to determine whether perioperative goal-directed nutritional therapy can prevent postoperative pulmonary and other major complications in malnourished esophageal squamous cell cancer patients. Its main question is whether individualized nutritional therapy can improve short-term surgical outcomes and long-term prognosis. Researchers will compare goal-directed and conventional nutritional therapy …
A Trial of the Combination of Afatinib and Palbociclib in Previously Treated Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Afatinib plus Palbociclib works in previously treated recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It will also learn about the safety of the combination of Afatinib and Palbociclib. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the safe …
Multimodal Deep Learning for Predicting Treatment Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy in Esophageal Cancer
This observational study aims to investigate a clinical cohort of patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. By integrating multimodal clinical data-including demographic characteristics, medical history, imaging studies, pathological findings, and laboratory tests-and employing deep learning algorithms, the study seeks to develop predictive models for the early and …
The Thoracic Peri-Operative Integrative Surgical Care Evaluation Trial - Stage III
Despite enormous advances in thoracic surgery and oncology, two critical issues concern patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for lung, gastric and esophageal cancer: first, a majority (~60%) of patients experience minor and major adverse events occurring during and in the days following surgery; second, patients worry about the significant risk of …
Utility and Usability of ActivSight™ Laser Speckle Imaging in Visualization of Tissue Perfusion and Blood Flow During Esophageal Surgery in Humans
ActivSight™ combines an innovative form factor and proprietary software to deliver precise, objective, real-time visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion intraoperatively for laparoscope-based surgery. A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver …
TDLN-sparing RT Plus Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced ESCC
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if immunotherapy in combination with tumor draining lymph nodes-sparing radiotherapy (TDLN-sparing RT) and chemotherapy works to treat locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer in adults. Researchers will compare immunotherapy in combination with TDLN-sparing RT and chemotherapy to TDLN-sparing RT and chemotherapy …
TDLN-sparing RT Followed by PD-1 Inhibitor Maintenance Therapy in Locally Advanced ESCC
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if tumor draining lymph nodes-sparing radiotherapy (TDLN-sparing RT) followed by immunotherapy as maintenance therapy works to treat locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer in adults.
Chemoradiotherapy in Elderly Patients With Oesophagus Cancer
Management of elderly patient with cancer is a therapeutic challenge and a public health problem. The mean age of esophageal cancer is 64.5 years and 72.1 years in men and women respectively. Surgery is a standard treatment reserved to about 30 % of patients. The other 70 % are considered …
