Improve the Strategies of Endoscopic and Interventional Treatment of Gastroesophageal Hemorrhage in Portal Hypertension
Endoscopic esophageal variceal ligation combined with gastric variceal embolization using tissue glue is currently the first-choice method for preventing rebleeding in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. However, the rebleeding rate remains relatively high. Factors such as extra-luminal vascular bundles in the esophagus and stomach walls, and portosystemic shunts significantly …
Evaluation of Cell Changes in Blood and Tissue in Cancers of the Lung, Esophagus and Lung Lining
Background Chromatin is is the structural building block of a chromosome. It is found inside the nucleus of the cell and consists of a complex of DNA and protein. Cancers of the lung, pleura (lung lining) and esophagus show profound changes in chromatin structure that may affect the course of …
Metachronic Brain Metastases After Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer (METABREC)
Esophagectomy is the cornerstone of the curative treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Despite this treatment, patients can suffer from locoregional or distant metastatic disease and only a very selected group of patients can be cured: mostly those with recurrence in one single organ. Brain metastases are rare after esophagectomy for cancer, …
Biomarkers in Patients With Respiratory Tract Dysplasia or Lung Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, or Aerodigestive Tract Cancer and in Normal Volunteers
RATIONALE: Studying samples of sputum and tissue in the laboratory from patients with dysplasia or cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in patients with …
Volatile Organic Compounds as Breath Biomarkers in Squamous Oesophageal Neoplasms
Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is a cancer of the food pipe that affects around 2000 patients in the UK every year. It is often detected at an advanced stage, resulting in poor survival (5-year survival less than 20%). Early detection can improve survival (5-year survival >70%). Therefore, early detection …
China Early Esophageal Cancer Cohort
With the development of endoscopy, more and more patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) receive endoscopic resection rather than traditional surgery. However, there is still no complete consensus on the risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) and recurrence of ESCC after endoscopic resection. The existing curative resection …
BJH-SDS Validation of the German Translation
The first object of the study is the validation of a translation of the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Stroke Dysphagia Screen with determination of sensitivity, specificity, interrater reliability (especially between different professional groups) and criterion validity. If the German translation proves to be suitable, it will also be validated on general neurological …
Distribution of Lymph Node Metastases in Esophageal Carcinoma
Background: Lymph node status is an important prognostic parameter in esophageal carcinoma and an independent predictor of survival. Distribution of metastatic lymph nodes may vary with tumor location, tumor histology, tumor invasion depth and neoadjuvant therapy. Surgical strategy depends on the distribution pattern of nodal metastases but consensus on the …
Registry Platform Gastric/Esophageal Cancer (SAPHIR)
The registry aims to collect and analyse information on the antineoplastic treatment of patients with metastatic esophageal, gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, treated in palliative intention in daily routine practice in Germany.
Prospective Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
This is prospective data recording study. All patients will receive standard medical care and no experimental interventions will be performed.
