Oxygen Levels After Esophageal Cancer Surgery and Healing Complications
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether low oxygen levels in the blood after esophageal cancer surgery increases the risk of problems with how the surgery heals. By understanding this connection, doctors may be able to better prevent or treat healing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with esophageal cancer or a benign (non-cancerous) esophageal tumor
- You had surgery to remove the tumor and reconstruct (rebuild) your esophagus
- Your blood oxygen levels were checked with a blood test after surgery
- You had at least one follow-up test (endoscopy, CT scan, or esophagram) to check how your surgery site healed
- You had your esophagus rebuilt with your own tissue (not a colon graft)

This trial studies how your heart and blood flow react during surgery to remove your esophagus. It aims to help doctors keep your blood pressure and circulation stable during the operation, which could lead to a safer recovery.
This trial tests how the amount of oxygen given before removing the breathing tube after abdominal surgery affects oxygen levels after the tube is removed. It may help prevent low oxygen levels while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
This trial looks at whether a personalized blood test can detect cancer returning after surgery for esophageal cancer. It tests people who had chemoradiotherapy before surgery and still had some cancer remaining in the removed tissue. The goal is to use the blood test to catch any remaining or returning cancer early.
This study measures how your body uses energy before and after scheduled esophagus removal surgery to understand recovery needs. It may help doctors provide better nutritional support during your hospital stay.
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 tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
