Radiotherapy Combined With Immunochemotherapy in Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
SCR-ESCC-01 is a multicenter, randomized, phase II study aiming to investigate the benefit of early involvement of low-dose radiotherapy(LDRT) and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy(CFRT) in the first-line anti-PD-1 based treatment of metastatic ESCC.
Detection of Upper Gastrointestinal Tumour Depth and Demarcation Using Systemic Administration of Indocyanine Green During Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a relatively new technique to treat superficial cancers in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Previous studies reported high en bloc resection rates (95%-97%). However, R0 resection rates (84.5%) suggest that the tumour is not radically removed in all cases, resulting in a risk of tumour …
Chemoimmunotherapy Followed by Surgery for Oligometastatic Esophagogastric Cancer: (TORO Protocol)
Esophageal cancer and cancers of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) are among the most common malignancies worldwide. The outcome for these patients remains very poor. Patients with limited spread of their cancer (oligometastatic disease) have a better prognosis than those with widespread disease. Recent advances in treatment therapies, including use of …
Amiodarone for the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation After Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy in Patients with Esophageal Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well amiodarone works in the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) after a minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in patients with esophageal cancer. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular heart rhythm, usually associated with a rapid rate, that is caused by abnormal electrical activity within the …
Ajuvant Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy in Patients With Esophageal, Esophageal- Gastric Junction Cancer
Surgery with or without neoadjuvant therapy is usually used as the treatment for resectable esophageal cancer or esophageal- gastric junction cancer. Patients who have a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy and have an incomplete (R1) resection or have metastatic lymph nodes in the resection specimen (N+) are especially at risk …
CPAP or BiPAP for Motion Mitigation During Radiotherapy
When using highly conformal radiotherapy techniques, such as proton therapy, a controlled breathing pattern and a minimal breathing amplitude could greatly benefit the treatment of mobile tumors. This reduction in tumor motion may be achieved with the use of a ventilator that is able to regulate and modulate the breathing …
Thalidomide Prevention or Treatment of Camrelizumab-induced Reactive Cutaneous Capillary Endothelial Proliferation (RCCEP)
To explore the dose and safety of thalidomide for the prevention and treatment of camrelizumab-induced reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP)
PD-L1 PET Imaging During Neoadjuvant (Chemo)Radiotherapy in Esophageal and Rectal Cancer
The overall aim of this pilot study is to prospectively monitor programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression dynamics in vivo, during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or short-course preoperative radiotherapy (SCPRT) in rectal and esophageal cancer by a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging approach.
Proton Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
The goal of this phase II study is to investigate the feasibility, toxicity and efficacy of a regimen incorporating a proven systemic regimen, carboplatin /paclitaxel, with conformal proton modality, followed by definitive surgery. In most combined-modality trials to date, chemotherapy regimens have included cisplatin, usually in conjunction with 5-fluorouracil. In …
Neoadjuvant Comprehensive Treatment for Unresectable Esophageal Cancer
Patients diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) that is deemed unresectable face a bleak prognosis. Recent phase 1/2 studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of augmenting neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy in treating resectable ESCC. The present study is a prospective, 3-arm, randomized trial that seeks …
