Bone scan study after esophagus cancer surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special bone imaging scan to look at bone structure after esophagus cancer surgery. It aims to understand how bones may change over time so care can be better tailored for people long after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for esophageal cancer (esophagectomy) at least 3 years ago
- You can sign a consent form and agree to follow the study steps
- You are not currently taking osteoporosis medicines like teriparatide, denosumab, or bisphosphonates
- You do not have active cancer now (except very early “in situ” cancer)
- You have not had recent radiotherapy and you have not needed long-term steroid medicines for months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks how common bone problems are in people with thyroid cancer. It uses a chest x-ray done before surgery to look at the spine's shape.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) might affect side effects from cancer treatments. If you are starting a new cancer treatment, a CT scan before treatment can help doctors predict your risk of side effects.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise program can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life after surgery for esophageal cancer. It may be a good fit if you have fully recovered from esophagectomy and are ready to start gentle strengthening exercises.
This Phase 1 study uses specialized imaging (including MRI) to better “see” low-oxygen areas in esophageal cancer and help guide individualized radiation treatment. It aims to improve how radiation is planned and delivered while checking safety.
This trial uses advanced imaging tests (spectral CT, multimodal MRI, and FAPI PET-CT) before surgery to find if esophageal cancer has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to improve how doctors predict and diagnose lymph node metastasis using these scans, along with pathology and AI analysis.
This study looks back at past patients’ medical and pathology records from esophageal cancer surgeries. It may help improve how doctors understand which advanced tumors should be treated, by reviewing outcomes in specific tumor stages.
