Robotic surgery for esophageal cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic approach to remove the esophagus in people with early to mid-stage esophageal cancer. It aims to see if robotic surgery is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have esophageal cancer that has not spread to other organs.
- You are scheduled for a type of keyhole surgery (called minimally invasive esophagectomy) to remove part of your esophagus.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are able to give your informed consent to take part in the study.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with the standard open chest operation to remove esophagus and nearby tissue. It may help you understand which approach works better and is safer for patients whose cancer can be surgically removed.
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
This trial tests a new robotic system that lets surgeons perform laparoscopic surgery from a distance. It's for people with certain cancers needing surgery on the kidney, prostate, stomach, colon, liver, spleen, uterus, or lung.
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
This trial compares a robot-assisted approach to a standard minimally invasive approach for surgery in people with certain types of esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be removed. It aims to see which surgery method works better and is safer for these patients.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for people with esophageal cancer who have already received treatment like chemo or radiation before surgery. It aims to see which method works better and is safer.
