Infection risk after esophagus cancer surgery
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.

Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had surgery to remove your esophagus for cancer between 2017 and 2024.
- You were admitted to the intensive care unit after your surgery for monitoring.

This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.
This study looks at whether low oxygen levels in the blood after esophageal cancer surgery increases the risk of problems with how the surgery heals. By understanding this connection, doctors may be able to better prevent or treat healing complications.
This study looks at people who had esophageal cancer surgery and later developed brain metastases. It may help doctors better understand who benefits from treatment planning after the original cancer surgery.
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 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.
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.
