Dental cleaning after esophageal cancer surgery to improve outcomes
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special dental cleaning plus an antibiotic (tinidazole) can improve your recovery and long-term outlook after esophageal cancer surgery, by removing a type of mouth bacteria that may affect cancer.

This Phase 3 trial tests whether using an antibiotic decolonization treatment around the time of esophagus surgery can reduce serious infections afterward. It may help you lower the risk of postoperative infectious complications after curative esophagectomy or esophagus reconstruction.
This study tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (paclitaxel and cisplatin) plus an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) given before surgery for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug called tislelizumab before surgery helps shrink esophageal cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people newly diagnosed with early-stage squamous cell esophageal cancer that can be removed surgically.
This Phase 3 trial compares different “treatments before surgery” for people with esophageal (or esophagus-to-stomach) cancer. It aims to see which approach works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after endoscopic surgery (ESD) helps people with early-stage esophageal cancer that had certain high-risk features, like deeper invasion or positive margins. It aims to improve outcomes for those who didn't get a complete cure with surgery alone.
This study tests a new treatment for people with locally advanced esophageal cancer that did not respond to initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the study drug can shrink or control the cancer when surgery is not an option.
