Barrett's Esophagus Related Neoplasia (BERN) Project
The use of high resolution endoscopy (HRE), narrow band imaging (NBI) and chromoendoscopy increases the detection rates of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and early neoplasia. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) will improve the accuracy for detection of dysplasia/early neoplasia. Specific Aim 1 - To create a video-atlas of non-dysplastic and dysplastic/early neoplastic …
Effects of Oral Cancer Treatments on Upper Esophageal Opening During Swallowing
The purpose of this study is to investigate post-operative and post-radiation upper esophageal sphincter opening measures in oral cancer patients, compare measures to age- and gender-matched healthy adults, and determine relationships with patient swallowing outcomes and quality of life.
A One-arm, Prospective Study Comparing the Effects of Different Body Composition on the Survival of Patients Undergoing Radical Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer
Skeletal muscle depletion and sarcopenia are the most typical features of cachexia, which occurs in 80% of patients with advanced esophageal cancer. Skeletal muscle consumption is an independent factor for poor prognosis, which negatively affects therapeutic toxicity, length of hospital stay, quality of life, complications, infection, and survival. The vast …
Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Locally Advanced Esophageal and Gastroesophageal (GE) Junction Adenocarcinoma
This is an observational study to determine the feasibility of assessing tumor response utilizing ctDNA in patients of locally advanced esophageal and gastroesophageal junction (LA-EA/GEJ) cancer undergoing total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) consisting of systemic chemotherapy (modified FOLFOX or FLOT/DFOX) followed by concurrent chemoradiation [50.4 Gray (Gy) over approximately six weeks …
