Blood test may spot hidden cancer cells, guiding smarter treatment for esophageal cancer

NCT ID NCT07371247

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a blood test that finds tiny traces of cancer DNA (called ctDNA-MRD) can help doctors decide who needs more treatment after standard chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer. About 65 people with unresectable cancer will get extra immunotherapy and chemo if their blood test shows leftover cancer cells. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
