Tissue Collection Protocol for Gastroesophageal Cancers
This proposed collection of primary tumor cells lines will benefit esophageal cancer research within the University Health Network. This collection of gastro-esophageal tumor samples will be used to grow primary tumor cell lines, which will provide researchers with ready samples of various gastro-esophageal cancers. This will help to address the …
A Phase II Exploratory Clinical Trial of Multiple Drug Combinations in the Treatment of Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple drug combinations in the treatment of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
A Trial of Palliative Chemotherapy, Radiation and Immune Treatment for Oesophageal Cancer: PALEO Study
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the addition of the stereotactic body radiotherapy and durvalumab to a well tolerated 2 week chemotherapy and radiation treatment regimen in people with esophageal cancer that is locally advanced or has spread to another area of the body (metastasized).
Pembrolizumab Combined With Preoperative Chemotherapy (Albumin Paclitaxel+Carboplatin) Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Locally Advanced (Stage II/III) Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study is a prospective, single center, open label, single arm clinical study. Select resectable locally advanced (cT3-4aN0M0, cT1-3N1-2M0, cII/III stage) esophageal cancer with pathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma for inclusion, receive pembrolizumab combined with platinum containing dual drug (albumin paclitaxel+carboplatin) treatment for 2 courses, and undergo surgery. After …
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 …
Volume Outcome Relationships and Effects
This is a retrospective analysis to assess if high-volume hospital facilities experience greater or lesser rates of incidence in patients with esophageal cancer than low-volume facilities.
Comparison of Esophagectomy and Chemoradiation for Patients With cN0-pT1b Stage Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The ad-ESD trial is phase III randomized trial to compare adjuvant esophagectomy and chemoradiation for patients with clinical stage N0 and pathological stage T1b squamous cell carcinoma (after endoscopic submucosal dissection).
Hypoxia Imaging for Esophageal Cancer to Guide Personalized Radiation Therapy
This is a Phase I trial evaluating the safety of personalized radiation therapy based on levels of hypoxia identified on FMISO-PET and MRI. All patients will receive a baseline FMISO positron emission tomography (PET) and MRI to identify levels of hypoxia. Patients with tumor hypoxia will receive a higher dose …
Salvage Chemoradiation Therapy for Recurrence After Radical Surgery or Palliative Surgery in Esophageal Cancer Patients
Currently, adjuvant therapy is not recommended for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received radical surgery. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 23.8%-58%, and the median time-to-recurrence is about 10.5 months. In patients who had residual tumor after surgery, evidence lacks for chemoradiation. The aim of the …
A Study Involving Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy with Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Patients with Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
An open-label, single-centre, non-randomized, Phase II trial in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. This study aims to show that delivering hypofractionated neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy is is equally effective as conventionally fractionated neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
