Although unprecedented advances have been made in the field of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains extremely poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. In recent years, multimodal treatments have proven to be an appropriate …
This is a randomized, single-center clinical trial that will compare the efficacy of two substances used in the submucosal cushion formation stage of endoscopic submucosal resections of early esophageal malignant neoplasms. Such substances are hyaluronic acid in the form of TS-905 Blue Eyeₒ and hydroxyethylamide (Voluven®).
Esophageal cancer, which has a low 5-year overall survival rate (\<20%) is increasing in incidence. Previous studies have shown that Hedgehog, AKT, and angiogenic signaling pathways are activated in a significant number of esophageal cancers. Itraconazole, a widely used anti-fungal medication, effectively inhibits these pathways. In this multi-site phase II …
This trial on biomarker validation investigates the use of innovative re-staging FDG-PET parameters to detect highly chemoradiation (CRT) sensitive squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus (SCEC) at the end of preoperative or definitive CRT.
This multicenter, prospective observational cohort study has the potential to optimize individualized chemoradiotherapy regimen for early-stage esophageal cancer patients who have received endoscopic submucosal dissection.
A single center prospective observational non-randomized clinical study to assess the safety and efficacy of placement of a new esophageal self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) for palliation of patients with malignant dysphagia.
The aim of this study is to compare outcomes in Chinese patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer who have received either surgery or definitive chemoradiation (CRT) by the randomized, open-label, multicenter trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Afatinib plus Palbociclib works in previously treated recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It will also learn about the safety of the combination of Afatinib and Palbociclib. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the safe …
This clinical trial aims to determine whether perioperative goal-directed nutritional therapy can prevent postoperative pulmonary and other major complications in malnourished esophageal squamous cell cancer patients. Its main question is whether individualized nutritional therapy can improve short-term surgical outcomes and long-term prognosis. Researchers will compare goal-directed and conventional nutritional therapy …
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 …
