New protocol aims to seal dangerous holes in cancer Patients' esophagus

This study is testing a standardized treatment plan for a serious complication called an esophageal fistula, which is a hole that can form in the esophagus of patients with advanced esophageal cancer. The plan involves sealing the hole with a stent, treating infections, providing nutritional support, and then trying to restart cancer treatment. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients live longer and allows more of them to receive further anti-cancer therapy.
