Comparing feeding options after surgery for oesophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of liquid feed given through a feeding tube after oesophagectomy surgery to see which one better prevents or treats chyle leaks—a specific type of fluid leak that can occur after this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special type of nutritional feeding through a tube placed in your small intestine can reduce complications (fluid leaks) after surgery to remove your esophagus for cancer. Researchers hope this approach may help you recover faster and spend less time in the hospital.
This study compares two ways of delivering liquid nutrition through a feeding tube after major abdominal surgery. It may help you recover better if you need intensive care and can be fed through a tube.
This trial compares two types of liquid nutrition given through a feeding tube before bowel surgery for Crohn's disease. It aims to see which type helps patients heal better before their operation.
This study tests whether a special feeding tube placed in the small intestine helps patients recover better after surgery for esophageal or stomach cancer. The tube delivers nutrition directly during chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
This trial tests whether extra nutrition support during chemotherapy or radiation therapy helps patients with esophageal cancer who are scheduled for surgery. It aims to improve strength and recovery before and after the operation.
This trial studies whether a specific feeding approach helps babies start full tube feeding sooner after surgical closure of an enterostomy (a stoma). It may help reduce the time until your baby is fully fed through the gut.
