Conebeam CT-based Online Adaptive Radio-Therapy for Esophageal Cancer (ARTEC)
Despite multimodal therapy, patients with esophageal cancer have poor prognosis with 5-year overall survival around 25%. Considering tumor-related death as main reason for high mortality rate in those patients, treatment-related cardio-pulmonary toxicities could also play a role in this regard. Online adaptive radiotherapy offers the possibility for daily re-planning and …
Comparison of Endoscopy and Esophagram for the Routine Evaluation of Anastomosis After McKeown Esophagectomy
This retrospective cohort study reviewed patients who underwent McKeown esophagectomy. All patients routinely underwent either endoscopy or esophagram for the evaluation of anastomosis on postoperative day 7. The initiation of oral intake depended on the status of anastomosis according to the assessment result of endoscopy or esophagram. All patients were …
Patient Derived Organoids (PDOs) to Observe the Clinical Consistency of Personalized Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Study Title: Observing Clinical Consistency of Personalized Neoadjuvant Therapy Using Patient-Derived Organoid Models (PDO) in Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Goal This study aims to explore whether patient-derived organoid models (PDO)-miniature tumors grown from patients' tissue samples-can accurately predict how individuals respond to personalized pre-surgery treatments (neoadjuvant therapy) for esophageal …
Personalized Nutrition Counseling and Nutritional Status of Esophageal Cancer and HNSCC Patients Undergoing CCRT
The purpose of the study is to improve the nutritional status of esophageal cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy by the personalized nutrition counseling.Dietitians consult with participants which invited to be the experimental group and follow up weekly through communication software (Line) or telephone remote methods. Dietitians provide the dietary advice …
Semmelweis Esophageal Cancer Study: Noninvasive Prognostic Parameters in Patients With Oesophageal and Esophagogastric Junction Cancer
The objective of this observational study was to gain a deeper understanding of the epidemiology of the disease in Hungary through a broad analysis of patients with new-onset esophageal-oesophageal-stomach junction tumors, and to identify key parameters that could potentially influence the outcome of the disease and are closely correlated with …
Oesophagectomy and Chest Wall and Respiratory Function
Open surgery for esophageal cancer commonly involves large incisions in the chest, associated with a high rate of pulmonary complications (30-50%). Minimally invasive approach through keyhole surgery has been shown to reduce pulmonary infections by 20%. Enhanced recovery programmes are evidence-based protocols, developed to achieve early recovery after surgery with …
Registry for Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding standard treatments for esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer/GEJ cancer. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about the effectiveness of different treatment options.
Predicting Early Tumor Recurrence in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who develop post-operative early tumor recurrence is often relatively poor. Therefore, biomarker that can detect micro metastases before the start of treatment is required. Epigenomic alterations such as DNA methylation have attracted attention as promising biomarkers. The investigators aim to …
Toripalimab Combined With Radiotherapy and S-1 for Older Patients With Esophageal Cancer
This trial aims to assess efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with radiotherapy and S-1 followed by adjuvant toripalimab maintenance therapy for older patients with stage II-III esophageal cancer.
18F-FSPG PET/CT as a Non-Invasive Imaging Biomarker for Treatment Response to Chemoradiation in Esophageal Cancer
This study is being done to learn how 18F-FSPG PET/CT scan results may be related to the response to chemotherapy and radiation in patients with esophageal cancer.
