Postoperative Radiotherapy in Thoracic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
The primary objective is to compare surgery with postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) versus surgery, in terms of the overall survival time (OS) in Stage II or III squamous cell esophageal carcinoma with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(nCRT).
Development and Validation of the SWADOC Tool
Background: After a period of coma, patients with severe brain injury may present disorders of consciousness (DOC). A wide proportion of these patients also suffer from severe dysphagia. Assessment and therapy of swallowing disabilities of DOC patients are essential because dysphagia has major functional consequences and comorbidities. Dysphagia evaluation in …
Striated Esophageal Motor Function Modulation in Health and Disease
The investigators hypothesize that striated esophagus deglutitive motor function is modulated by pharyngeal phase swallowing biomechanics.
PET-MRI Esophagus Feasibility Study
This is a single arm, single centre, investigator initiated study to investigate the feasibility of using PET-MRI imaging in radiation treatment workflow in up to 15 patients with esophagogastric cancer. PET-MRI imaging will be completed before the start of radiation treatment. MRI imaging will be completed during radiation treatment and …
Paclitaxel Coated Balloon for the Treatment of Chronic bEnigN sTricture- Esophagus
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ProTractX3™ DCB for the treatment of benign esophageal strictures.
Buspirone for Weak or Absent Esophageal Peristalsis
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial of buspirone in patients with complaints of dysphagia due to poor esophageal motility. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effect of buspirone on esophageal motility by performing high resolution impedance manometry (HRiM).
Sintilimab and Chemotherapy Sequential Radiotherapy in Advanced Esophageal Cancer
This is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, exploratory clinical study.The study population consisted of treatment naive advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and residual lesions irradiation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Lymphocyte-sparing Thoracic Radiotherapy for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors. Although neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with surgery has significantly improved the survival rate of patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, approximately half of the patients will experience local regional recurrence or distant metastasis. Lymphocytes are crucial immune cells …
Diagnostic Yield of Post PRandial Esophageal High Resolution Impedance Manometry in Patients With Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease Symptoms Resistant to Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as the reflux of gastric content into the esophagus that causes troublesome symptoms or complications. Nine to 30% of the population suffers from GERD-suggestive symptoms (heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, chronic couch, sore throat). In the absence of warning signs, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are …
Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Stage IVB Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma（EC-CRT-003）
Retrospective studies suggested that the addition of thoracic concurrent chemoradiotherapy to systemic chemotherapy improved the survival and quality of life (QOL) of patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, no prospective study had been conducted to confirm these findings. Recently, immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints combined with chemotherapy …
