Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients were diagnosed with esophageal cancer by pathology at Zhengzhou University Affiliated Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2024. Based on pre-treatment examinations such as endoscopic ultrasound, CT, MRI, and multidisciplinary consultation opinions, these patients underwent radical esophagectomy after receiving different kinds of neoadjuvant therapy.

Who may be able to join

  • Consecutive patients with histopathological diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
  • Patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy before radical surgery for esophageal cancer: neoadjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy.
  • All patients underwent CT and multimodal MRI examinations before and after neoadjuvant therapy.
  • The preoperative clinical data and postoperative pathological data are complete.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with other primary malignant tumors or previous anti-tumor treatment.
  • CT and MRI images with poor quality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Cancer and Neoadjuvant Therapy, run by Henan Cancer Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jinrong Qu ((86) 0371-65587595, qjryq@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CT and multimodal MRI in prediction of neoadjuvant therapy efficacy and postoperative pathological indicators in esophageal cancer (time frame: March 2025 - January 2030). 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 20 Feb 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
