Improved recovery after esophagus surgery using a smart monitoring plan
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor patients after surgery to remove the esophagus, using a computer algorithm to spot complications early. If you are having this surgery for esophageal cancer, this might help you recover more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus or the area where the esophagus meets the stomach.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the esophagus, and your surgeon will use part of your stomach to rebuild the food pipe.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not having emergency surgery, and you have not had your whole stomach removed or a different type of reconstruction.

This study tests a special care plan called 'Enhanced Recovery After Surgery' (ERAS) for people having minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery. The plan aims to help you recover faster and with fewer complications after the operation.
This study tests whether a structured symptom-reporting program helps people recover better after esophageal cancer surgery compared to usual care. If you are having surgery for esophageal cancer, this program might help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life after the operation.
This study compares two ways to perform surgery for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if doing the surgery with minimally invasive techniques (using small incisions and cameras) is as safe and effective as a hybrid method that uses both small and larger incisions. Your participation may help doctors improve surgical options for future patients.
This study is looking for people newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer or cancer at the stomach-esophagus junction who are planning to have surgery. The goal is to see if certain noninvasive tests (like scans) can help predict how the disease will progress.
This study looks at what happens after a planned (elective) robotic surgery to remove part or all of the esophagus. It may help doctors understand recovery and outcomes, and compare results among patients having this operation.
This study measures how your body uses energy before and after scheduled esophagus removal surgery to understand recovery needs. It may help doctors provide better nutritional support during your hospital stay.
