Checks quality of life after esophagus surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at outcomes and quality of life after esophagus removal surgery, comparing minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. It may help doctors understand how different surgical approaches affect how you feel during recovery.

This study looks at how different types of surgery for esophageal cancer affect long-term survival and quality of life. It compares a less invasive technique (using small incisions) with traditional open surgery to see which one might be better for patients.
This observational study follows people with esophageal cancer to see how their quality of life changes after chemoradiation. It does not change your treatment, but it may help doctors better understand what to expect during and after therapy.
This study is a survey. It asks people about their experiences after esophagus surgery (either removing part of the esophagus or rebuilding it). It may help doctors understand what happens to patients over time and improve future care.
This study looks at treatment results for adults diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It may help doctors understand which treatments work better and what outcomes to expect.
This study tests a new questionnaire to measure quality of life in people who had surgery to remove stomach cancer. If you had surgery for stomach cancer between 1 month and 5 years ago and are cancer-free now, your answers can help improve care.
This study looks at how surgeons rebuild the esophagus using either a jejunum (small intestine) or a colon (large intestine) piece, and how that affects your day-to-day function and quality of life. It may help doctors choose the approach that best supports recovery and independence for patients needing esophageal reconstruction.
