This trial is testing different ways to provide nutrition to people whose esophagus or stomach cancer is blocking food from getting through. The goal is to find the best way to keep you nourished and comfortable.
This study uses a special 3D X-ray machine to look at the bone quality in people who had their esophagus removed due to cancer. It aims to see if bone health is affected after this surgery, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at how surgeons rebuild the esophagus using either a jejunum (small intestine) or a colon (large intestine) piece, and how that affects your day-to-day function and quality of life. It may help doctors choose the approach that best supports recovery and independence for patients needing esophageal reconstruction.
This study tests a new way to replace a narrowed esophagus (the tube that carries food to the stomach) using a specially treated donor esophagus. It is for people whose esophageal narrowing (stricture) has not improved with standard dilation treatments. The goal is to see if this graft can safely and effectively improve swallowing.
This trial tests a new way to rebuild the connection between the esophagus and small intestine after total stomach removal. It creates a pouch from the jejunum (part of the small intestine) to help with eating and digestion.
This study compares different ways of rebuilding the digestive tract after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach. It aims to find the best method to help patients recover and eat normally after their cancer surgery.
