New Pre-Surgery step may reduce leak risk in esophageal cancer operations
NCT ID NCT03896399
First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested a two-step surgical approach for 22 people with esophageal cancer who had hardened arteries, which raises the risk of a dangerous leak after standard surgery. About two weeks before the main tumor-removal surgery, patients had a key blood vessel temporarily blocked to help the stomach develop extra blood flow. The goal was to see if this pre-treatment was safe and could lower the chance of serious complications.
