Mouth germ removal after esophageal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether removing a certain mouth germ (P. gingivalis) with a common antibiotic can improve recovery and outcomes after esophageal cancer surgery. It is for people who recently had their cancer removed and are not getting radiation.

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 looks at how the bacteria in your mouth might affect how well chemoradiotherapy (a combination of chemotherapy and radiation) works for esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the oral microbiome can predict treatment response.
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 trial tests if taking antibiotics and using a mouth rinse before surgery can help treat oral cancer by targeting bacteria inside the tumor. It is for people with a new diagnosis of oral cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
This study tests a new way to manage complications after esophageal cancer surgery using a special algorithm. The goal is to improve recovery and care for patients who have this surgery.
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.
