AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- Adults aged 18 years or older
- People who have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer (confirmed through laboratory testing of tissue) and whose treatment plan requires a specific type of surgery involving three separate cuts — in the neck, chest, and abdomen
- People who have been assessed as being in reasonably good overall physical health before surgery, based on a standard medical rating scale (ASA class I–III)
Who may not be able to join:
- People who have a history of ongoing (chronic) pain or who have been taking pain-relief medications regularly before surgery
- People with serious heart or lung problems (for example, significantly reduced lung function, such as a breathing test result below a certain threshold)
- People who have a blood clotting disorder, or who are having this surgery as a repeat (redo) operation
- People where, during the operation itself, the surgical team finds complications such as extensive scarring around the lungs, or a need to remove nearby organs — or any other situation where the medical team leading the trial decides that participation is not appropriate (confirm with trial site)
