Building models to understand esophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This research study uses medical records and imaging from patients with various esophageal conditions—from inflammation to cancer—to develop better diagnostic and prediction tools. Researchers want to understand what changes in the esophagus lead to cancer and how to catch it earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had an endoscopy (camera test of your esophagus) or biopsy (tissue sample) with clear results
- Your medical records include good-quality imaging scans (endoscopy photos or CT scans)
- You do not have a diagnosis of cancer in another part of your body in the last 5 years
- Researchers are able to follow your health records for survival and disease information

This study looks back at past patients’ medical and pathology records from esophageal cancer surgeries. It may help improve how doctors understand which advanced tumors should be treated, by reviewing outcomes in specific tumor stages.
This trial tests whether a personalized treatment plan, chosen using a lab-grown model of your tumor, works better than standard therapy for esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. It aims to find the most effective drugs for you before surgery.
This trial uses a combination of imaging and clinical data to see if a computer model can predict how well your treatment will work. It aims to help doctors better understand your cancer risk and choose the best treatment plan for you.
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
This study looks at treatment results for adults diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It may help doctors understand which treatments work better and what outcomes to expect.
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.
