Intensive nutrition support for esophageal cancer patients before surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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 Phase 3 trial compares different “treatments before surgery” for people with esophageal (or esophagus-to-stomach) cancer. It aims to see which approach works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
This study tests a personalized nutrition program designed to improve quality of life for people who have had or will have surgery for esophageal cancer. It aims to help you eat better and feel better during recovery.
This trial studies whether adding radiation to chemotherapy before surgery works better for people with operable (resectable) squamous cell esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by comparing two different treatment plans before the operation.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (penpulimab, anlotinib, and chemotherapy) given before surgery to shrink esophageal cancer. It is for people with locally advanced cancer who have not had treatment before.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy before surgery works better than chemotherapy alone for resectable esophageal cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes after tumor shrinkage before the operation.
