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).
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.
Esophageal Impedance and Manometry Measurements and Dysphagia Symptom Scoring
Comparison of manometry measurements and EndoFlip Balloon measurements in patients with dysphagia and a known esophageal diagnosis
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.
Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction and Esophageal Diverticulum
Patients undergoing open transcervical or endoscopic approach in which a laser or stapler is used to divide the common wall between the diverticulum and esophagus, or who are not surgical candidates but agree to follow-up.
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 …
Point of Care Ultrasound for the Detection of Esophageal Food Bolus
This will be a prospective, observational, case-control study of adult patients presenting to the WellSpan York Hospital Emergency Department (YHED) with signs and symptoms of esophageal food or foreign body impaction. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) will then be performed by a trained emergency physician to collect ultrasound data, including …
The Correlation Between Microbiome of Esophageal Cancer Patients and Post Esophagectomy Anastomotic Leaks
Esophageal cancer continues to be one of the most challenging topics and the subjects of numerous studies. Surgery is the mainstay for curative treatment and the need to improve all aspects of perioperative management in order to reduce morbidity and mortality, continues to be of immense importance. Cited as the …
