About this study

Official title: 90-day Postoperative Morbidity and Mortality After Elective Surgery for Esophageal and Esophagogastric Junction Cancer

Esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer is still one of the main health care issue and esophagectomy with lymph node dissection is the only chance to be cure.

However, esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is a complex procedure which carries high risk of morbidity rate of 24% and a mortality rate of 2% to 5.6%, respectively There is a need to study the differences of 90-day postoperative morbidity and mortality in different clinics and centers of the Russian Federation.

Read the detailed description

Esophageal and esophago-gastric junction cancer is the seventh most common malignancy and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.

Surgery remains the primary treatment for esophageal cancer and is one of the most technically challenging interventions in oncological surgery. In addition, esophagectomy is associated with high risks of postoperative complications, with rates varying from clinic to clinic. Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is a complex procedure which carries high risk of morbidity rate of 24% and a mortality rate of 2% to 5.6%, respectively.

The problem with the available studies of the course of the postoperative period is the significant heterogeneity of research methods, which does not allow us to obtain a true picture of the results of surgical treatment of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction cancer in the Russian Federation.

To improve the quality of further studies and recommendations on standardization of surgical treatment of esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer and its morbidity, there is a need to study the differences of 90-day postoperative morbidity and mortality in different clinics and centers of the Russian Federation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the type of complications and the incidence of it

    the types of complication is classified into as follows: gastrointestinal (anastomotic leak, conduit necrosis/failure, pancreatitis, GI Bleeding, delayed conduit emptying); pulmonary (pneumonia, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, respiratory failure, ARDS, acute aspiration, tracheobronchial Injury); cardiac; thromboembolic; urologic; infection (wound infection; intrathoracic/intra-abdominal abscess; generalized sepsis; other infections); neurologic (recurrent nerve injury, acute delirium) and other (thoracic wound dehiscence, diaphragmatic hernia, chyle leak, reoperation other than for anastomotic leak or conduit necrosis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) complications Each complication will be graded according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Re-admission or visiting emergency room will be checked and recorded.

    Measured: within 90 days after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Cancer and Oesophageal Cancer, run by P. Herzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute at 18 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Russia, Belarus. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the type of complications and the incidence of it (time frame: within 90 days after operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2025.
