Filter by:The investigators conduct this phase II study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of EGCG in patients with dysphagia. Swallowing-related dysphagia and pain scores were recorded using the numerical rating scale (NRS) daily . Barium meal radiography was utilized to measure the luminal size and the length of the lesion area both before and after a week of EGCG treatment. The scales are translated into Chinese and guides in Chinese are developed instructing how to use the scales and perform the assessments.
Radiotherapy plays an important role in multidisciplinary treatment of esophageal cancer. Data from many laboratories indicate that local radiation produces systemic, immune-mediated anti¬tumour and, potentially, antimetastatic effects. Additionally, the combination of local radiotherapy and immune-modulation can augment local tumour control and cause distant (abscopal) antitumour effects through increased tumour-antigen release and antigen-presenting cell (APC) cross-presentation, improved dendritic-cell (DC) function, and enhanced T cell priming. The generation of an effective antitumor immune response requires the presentation of tumor antigens to naïve CD8+ cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLN) . Tumor-draining lymph nodes, however, are often subject to the immunosuppressive activity of tumor-derived factors, such as cytokines and other bioactive molecules from tumor cells and their associated leukocytes in the primary tumor site that contribute to the overriding of effective rejection mechanisms. Thus, in TDLN a T cell tolerance rather than a T cell activation often occurs, thereby preventing immune attack and facilitating local tumor progression.
Purpose：To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep-sea fish oil in preventing acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE). Methods and Materials：A total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment or control group. In the treatment group, 1g deep-sea fish oil was oral administrated prophylactically twice a day，the control group was blank control. The clinical efficacy of deep-sea fish oil on prevention of ARIE was evaluated by comparing the differences in the occurrence time, the grade and incidence of ARIE. Additionally, the change in nutritional status was also investigated. Hemanalysis, liver function, kidney function changes， and adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment to evaluate the safety of deep-sea fish oil.
This multicenter, prospective observational cohort study has the potential to optimize individualized chemoradiotherapy regimen for early-stage esophageal cancer patients who have received endoscopic submucosal dissection.
This study aims to develop a highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective blood assay for the early detection of esophageal adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesions, using advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art biological analyses.
The aim of this project is to develop and validate NTCP-models for complications after nCRT (and surgical resection), that can be uses for model-based dose optimization for PhRT and PRT, and for model-based selection for PRT, in patients with esophageal cancer
The purpose of this study is to observe the safety and effectiveness of the add-on of intraluminal brachytherapy with BRAXX esophageal brachytherapy applicator after definitive CCRT in patients with thoracic esophageal cancer.
Despite multimodal therapy, patients with esophageal cancer have poor prognosis with 5-year overall survival around 25%. Considering tumor-related death as main reason for high mortality rate in those patients, treatment-related cardio-pulmonary toxicities could also play a role in this regard. Online adaptive radiotherapy offers the possibility for daily re-planning and therefore helps radiation oncologists to better spare the organs at risk and reduce radiation-induced toxicity. Tha aim of ARTEC is to assess the pulmonary toxicity in patients with esophageal cancer treated with online adaptive radiotherapy.
This study is a Single Arm, Prospective, Exploratory, Single Center Phase II Clinical Study to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Serplulimab and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer who cannot be treated surgically.Subjects can be enrolled into this study only if they meet inclusion criteria and do not meet exclusion criteria.
A single-arm, open-label early-stage exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Claudin 18.2-Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells in subjects with gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
