Heart monitoring study for esophageal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive heart monitor (seismocardiography) to see if it can predict how well patients recover after esophageal cancer surgery. The goal is to improve surgical planning and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a home-based program before surgery that uses 5G and artificial intelligence to guide your exercises and health monitoring. The goal is to improve your strength and recovery before and after stomach cancer surgery.
This trial tests a home-based program using smartphones and wearable devices to help you prepare for surgery. It aims to improve your strength and recovery before and after your stomach cancer operation.
This study tests a new way to monitor patients after surgery to remove the esophagus, using a computer algorithm to spot complications early. If you are having this surgery for esophageal cancer, this might help you recover more safely.
This trial compares different follow-up schedules after surgery for oesophageal or gastric cancer to see which is better at detecting recurrence early. It aims to improve long-term outcomes for patients.
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 compares two ways to perform surgery for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if doing the surgery with minimally invasive techniques (using small incisions and cameras) is as safe and effective as a hybrid method that uses both small and larger incisions. Your participation may help doctors improve surgical options for future patients.
