Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. T1-3N0-1M0 esophageal carcinoma; 2. Scheduled for neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy prior to esophagectomy; 3. Dysphagia for solid, semisolid or liquid food (dysphagia score 2, 3 or 4); 4. Age 18 years and older; 5. Informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Tumor length > 10 cm; 2. Tumor growth within 5 cm of the upper esophageal sphincter; 3. Tumor extension into the stomach for more than 5 cm; 4. Poor mental condition or mental retardation, unable to understand the nature and possible consequences of the study or unwilling to undergo follow-up assessments.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Safety defined as the absence of a stent-procedure- or stent-related major complication.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Technical succes: Successful stent placement and deployment at the site of the stricture; 2. Clinical success: Improvement of the mean dysphagia score during total follow-up; 3. Persistent dysphagia: No improvement from baseline dysphagia score after 1 week of follow-up; 4. Recurrent dysphagia: Reoccurrence of a dysphagia score of 2 or more during 3 consecutive days; 5. Complications (stent-procedure or stent related): A. Major: Perforation, hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion (at least 2 units), severe retrosternal pain requiring treatment with intravenous morfinomimetics for over 48 hours; B. Minor: Moderate retrosternal pain (no morfinomimetica needed for over 48 hours), heartburn, regurgitation, re-obstruction caused by food-impaction, tumor in- or overgrowth or tissue hyperplasia. 6. Weight changes: Measured in kilograms of bodyweight and BMI and changes in body fat distribution, lean body mass and body cell mass measured by bio-elelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and by screening for malnutrition using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool score (MUST-score).
