NCT ID NCT07104838

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a laryngeal mask (no breathing tube) during esophageal cancer surgery is as safe and effective as the standard method with a breathing tube. About 500 adults aged 18-75 with resectable esophageal cancer will be randomly assigned to one of two anesthesia approaches. The goal is to see if the non-tube method leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
