Symptom care vs. usual care after esophageal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a patient-reported symptom care approach to usual care after surgery for esophageal cancer. It aims to see if tracking and reporting symptoms can improve recovery and quality of life.
