Filter by:The investigators try to conduct a study to assess the impact of changing patients' lateral decubitus position on BIS readings during esophageal cancer operation. Also, the investigators evaluate the effects of one-lung ventilation and total lung ventilation on BIS value with inhalation agent.
This is an open-label, single arm study to explore whether 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT scan can predict the efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in patients with malignancies. Integrin αvβ3 has been shown to play an important role in angiogenesis and up-regulated obviously in various types of tumor cells and activated endothelial cells. The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) tripeptide sequence can bind to integrin αvβ3 with high affinity and specificity. The 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 will highly combine with αvβ3, and thus will monitor the antiangiogenic status.In the current study, investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-RGD PET/CT in monitoring efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in malignancies.
The investigators retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients who had undergone esophagectomy and reconstruction in 2015. Patient characteristics, the surgery performed, method of anesthesia, postoperative hospitalization course, and additional surgical interventions were reviewed and analyzed.
Depending upon the cancer stage, esophageal cancer can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these modalities. Sometimes in addition to external radiation therapy or instead of external radiation therapy, select patients with esophageal cancer may benefit from localized radiation to the tumor, called esophageal brachytherapy. There are many different radiation techniques and delivery approaches for this type of specialized radiation therapy, and the purpose of this document is to provide a written summary of an innovative delivery method.
This is a study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for CDX-1140 (CD40 antibody), either alone or in combination with CDX-301 (FLT3L), pembrolizumab, or chemotherapy and to further evaluate its tolerability and efficacy in expansion cohorts once the MTD is determined.
The ReStOre trial is a multi-disciplinary intervention of exercise, diet and education for patients who have completed treatment for oesophageal cancer. The intervention aims to improve quality of life and functional performance following oesophageal cancer and assist patients to return to normal activity during the early survivorship phase. The 12-week intervention will involve structured exercise training, individual dietary advice and multi-disciplinary education sessions addressing a range of survivorship needs.
This is a non-randomised study assessing the technique of using indocyanine green as a fluorescent dye to highlight the thoracic duct during oesophectomy.
Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer around the world, with more than 450000 new cases per year. Esophagectomy with radical lymphadenectomy (2-field lymphadenectomy) is the mainstay of treatment in many countries for patients with esophageal cancer. To improve the survival, 3-field lymphadenectomy combined with cervical lymphadenectomy was started in 1980s. More potential positive lymph nodes were found during more extended lymphadenectomy, offering more accurate TNM staging, affecting consequent treatment. However，3-field-lymphadenectomy was associated with increased surgical morbidity and mortality. Positron emission tomography (PET) is used for detecting distant metastases and lymphatic involvement. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of PET in predicting cervical lymph metastases of patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and to determine if investigators can use PET to guide future cervical lymphadenectomy.

Prospective, open label, non-controlled single arm, multi-center study The primary objective is to study the effects of the trūFreeze® Spray Cryotherapy System in a population of subjects who have been diagnosed with persistent local esophageal cancer and who are not surgical candidates or have completed or declined systemic therapy.
SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody. This is an open-label，single center ，non-randomized ，Single Arm Exploratory Study . This clinical study is an investigator-initiatedclini-cal trial（IIT ）.The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiation therapy combined with anti-PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 in patients with Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinomas。
