Lymph node spread in esophageal cancer trial
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how often a specific lymph node (106TBL) is involved in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help guide treatment decisions for people who have not had other cancers and whose tumor is in the chest (not the neck).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
- Your cancer is stage cT1-4a N0 or N+ and has not spread to other organs (M0).
- You have not had any other cancer before.
- Your tumor is not in the neck area.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery to remove your esophagus.

This study looks at how often cancer has spread to lymph nodes in people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help doctors plan better treatment. You may be eligible if your cancer hasn't spread to other organs and you haven't had another cancer.
This trial is testing a combination of chemotherapy and radiation (called total neoadjuvant therapy) before surgery for a type of esophageal cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
This trial compares two approaches for early-stage esophageal cancer: removing nearby lymph nodes versus not removing them, after a standard endoscopic removal of the tumor. The goal is to see if removing lymph nodes improves outcomes for patients with T1a stage cancer.
This trial uses advanced imaging tests (spectral CT, multimodal MRI, and FAPI PET-CT) before surgery to find if esophageal cancer has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to improve how doctors predict and diagnose lymph node metastasis using these scans, along with pathology and AI analysis.
This trial uses a blood test to find tiny bits of tumor DNA after surgery. If the test is positive, you may receive additional therapy to lower the risk of cancer coming back.
This trial tests a new treatment plan for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has spread to lymph nodes but not to other organs. It aims to find the best way to treat this cancer using radiation and other therapies.
