Chromoendoscopy to Detect Early Synchronous Second Primary Esophageal Carcinoma

NCT01783158 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 132

Last updated 2013-02-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with HNSCC represent a high-risk group for the development of SESCC. Thus, esophagogastrofibroscopy should be performed to detect possible synchronous esophageal carcinomas in these patients.

Although only two patients with synchronous primary carcinomas were found among the patients with newly diagnosed HNSCC in this study, esophagoscopy and better some of advanced endoscopic methods should be recommended after detection of HNSCC to exclude secondary esophageal carcinoma or dysplasia. Staining of the esophagus with Lugol's solution is an easy and inexpensive option and can be done in most of gastroenterology offices.

Conditions

  • Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Head and Neck

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Esophagoscopy and chromoendoscopy

Esophagoscopy - examination of the interior of the esophagus by means of an esophagoscope. Chromoendoscopy - a method, which involves the topical application of stains or pigments to improve tissue localization, characterization, or diagnosis during endoscopy.
