U.S., Feb. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07408999) titled 'Totally Versus Hybrid Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer' on Jan. 23.
Brief Summary: Esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancers remain associated with poor survival despite progress in multimodal treatment. Surgery, especially Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy, combined with peri-operative therapy improves survival but is burdened by major morbidity, mainly respiratory and anastomotic complications, which compromise recovery and adjuvant treatment.
Minimally invasive approaches such as totally minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE) have shown potential to reduce postoperative morbidity compared to the hybrid appro...
