To summarise the outcomes of a treatment decision of patients with superficial esophageal carcinoma synchronously associated with head and neck cancer, that is endoscopic treatment for the superficial esophageal carcinoma plus surgery of the head and neck carcinoma.
Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is currently the main method of treatment of early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions. Therefore, the investigators are looking forward to conduct a cohort study on early esophageal cancer patients undergoing endoscopic treatment collected from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, comparing the WHO standard with Japanese standard of endoscopic therapy diagnosis. In addition，the investigators will collect patients' detailed informations and analyze the risk factors for metastasis and recurrence of early esophageal cancer.
This is a Phase III clinical trail which Comparing Paclitaxel, Cisplatin Plus 5-FU (TCF) Versus Radiotherapy with Paclitaxel Plus Cisplatin (TC-RT) as Preoperative Therapy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cancer. The Preoperative chemoradiotherapy with radical surgery is the standard treatment in China. But, many patients do not receive this treatment for many other reasons. Most of them refused or abandon radiotherapy because of the Intolerable adverse effects of radiotherapy, so we have launched a randomized controlled trial to confirm the non-inferiority of TCF over chemoradiotherapy with TC (TC-RT) as preoperative therapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cancer in overall survival.
Nasogastric decompression is standard practice after esophageal resection in most centers because it is expected to reduce the incidence of esophagogastric anastomotic leakage by preventing overdistension of the gastric conduit. Most esophageal surgeons have been reluctant to move away from this tradition because of the considerable morbidity of anastomotic leaks after esophagectomy. However, a contrarian view is that the use of prolonged NGD may increase the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications by promoting aspiration. Considering the numerous complications caused by using the tube and the uncertainty about its usefulness and the scarcity of studies conducted on the subject, particularly in patients with esophageal cancer, the necessity of using the tube in these types of cases is investigated in the present study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with positive circumstantial resection margin.
The goals of this study are to testify the effectiveness on enhancement recovery by new anesthetic ERAS (Enhanced recovery after surgery) strategy.
The main purpose of this study for patients with gastric or gastroesophageal cancer is to evaluate how well the tumor is responding to treatment with nivolumab by itself, or in combination with ipilimumab. For patients with esophageal cancer, the main purpose is to evaluate how well the tumor is responding to treatment with the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab.
Anesthetic management and fluid therapy is crucial in esophageal resection and reconstruction, which is associated with high incidence of postoperative morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate the effect of goal directed fluid management on the postoperative outcome of esophageal resection and reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether docetaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine (DCX) are effective as the neoadjuvant chemotherapy before esophagectomy in patients with loco-regional esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
