First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a special balloon-based internal radiation treatment after standard chemoradiation can lower the chance of the tumor returning in people with esophageal cancer who choose not to have surgery. The new applicator is designed to deliver radiation more evenly to reduce side effects like fistulas or narrowing of the esophagus. About 18 adults aged 20-85 with stage I-III esophageal cancer are being followed for up to a year to check tumor control, side effects, and survival.
