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 combines an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) with radiation therapy and special nutrition drinks to treat esophageal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective in helping patients live longer and feel better.
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (nimotuzumab and camrelizumab) plus standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether intensive nutritional support helps people with esophageal cancer who are receiving treatment before surgery. You might benefit from this trial if you need extra nutrition during your cancer treatment.
This trial tests whether intensive nutritional support helps patients with advanced esophageal cancer (a type of squamous cell carcinoma) respond better to treatment before surgery. The goal is to improve how well the cancer shrinks and prepare the body for a successful operation.
This study tests a personalized nutrition program designed to improve quality of life for people who have had or will have surgery for esophageal cancer. It aims to help you eat better and feel better during recovery.
