MRI for esophageal cancer before surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses detailed MRI scans to look at esophageal cancer before surgery. It helps doctors understand the tumor better and plan the best treatment. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery to remove the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your tumor is in the part of the esophagus in your chest.
- You are planned to have surgery to remove the cancer.
- You are willing to have an MRI scan of your esophagus, and you are not claustrophobic.
- You have not had certain other treatments before the MRI, or you are in the group that gets chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.

This Phase 1 study uses specialized imaging (including MRI) to better “see” low-oxygen areas in esophageal cancer and help guide individualized radiation treatment. It aims to improve how radiation is planned and delivered while checking safety.
This study checks whether MRI and CT scans can better measure how esophageal or stomach-junction tumors respond during chemoradiotherapy and help doctors map the exact treatment area. It may help improve targeting while you receive standard treatment.
This trial uses a special MRI technique to see if it can predict how well esophageal cancer responds to chemo-radiotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for you.
This trial tests combining chemotherapy (FLOT) with a special type of MRI-guided radiation before surgery for esophageal adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve treatment results for patients with a specific type and stage of the disease.
This trial uses CT and MRI scans before and after chemotherapy or radiation to see how well the treatment worked in esophageal cancer. The goal is to match scan results with what doctors find after surgery.
This study tests whether a combined PET-MRI scan can be done safely and used to help plan treatment for people with locally advanced esophageal cancer. It may improve how doctors map the cancer and plan radiation therapy, but it is mainly a feasibility (testing-setup) study.
