Deeper intubation for cervical esophageal cancer removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if inserting the endoscope deeper helps remove early-stage cervical esophageal cancer or precancerous cells more effectively. It may offer a safer, less invasive option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage squamous cell carcinoma or high-grade precancerous cells in the cervical esophagus.
- Your cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs.
- You have not had radiation or chemotherapy before this procedure.
- You do not have other serious health problems that make endoscopy unsafe.
- You are willing and able to give informed consent.

This trial tests if artificial intelligence can help doctors more accurately determine how deep early esophageal cancer goes during an endoscopic ultrasound. It may lead to better treatment decisions for people with early signs of esophageal cancer.
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 special endoscope that gives a close-up view of esophageal cells, to see if it can accurately spot early cancers or pre-cancerous changes. If you are already scheduled for a standard procedure or have a detected spot in your esophagus, this might help guide your treatment.
This study is for adults who need a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection to remove a lesion in the esophagus. Researchers will track outcomes to better understand how this treatment works in real-world settings.
This study compares two ways to treat cervical esophagus squamous cell cancer: surgery alone versus chemo-radiation (chemotherapy plus radiation). It may help find the best approach to control the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
This study compares two ways to treat a type of esophagus cancer: surgical removal (esophagectomy) versus chemoradiation (chemo plus radiation). It is for people with early-stage findings where scans suggest no lymph node spread.
