Improving care after esophageal cancer surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 trial compares a patient-reported symptom care approach to usual care after surgery for esophageal cancer. It aims to see if tracking and reporting symptoms can improve recovery and quality of life.
This trial tests a program to help people recover faster and feel better after a minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer. The program includes special steps before, during, and after surgery to improve recovery.
This study looks back at past patients’ medical and pathology records from esophageal cancer surgeries. It may help improve how doctors understand which advanced tumors should be treated, by reviewing outcomes in specific tumor stages.
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 infections that can happen after surgery to remove the esophagus (esophagectomy) for cancer. Understanding these infections may help doctors improve care after this procedure.
This trial tests different combinations of treatments given before surgery for a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to find the best approach to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients whose cancer has not spread to distant organs.
