ClinConnect Summary

The Mayo Clinic Upper Digestive Disease Survey is a clinical trial designed to help improve the care of patients with esophageal conditions, including esophageal cancer. This study is focused on creating a set of questionnaires that will help doctors consistently evaluate how well patients are doing after procedures like esophagectomy, which is surgery to remove part of the esophagus. By collecting and analyzing the responses from these questionnaires, researchers aim to establish what is considered a "normal" recovery for different types of treatments, which will assist in managing symptoms and complications, as well as educating patients before surgery.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be undergoing or have already undergone esophagectomy or esophageal reconstruction. The study is open to all genders and is particularly looking for participants aged 65 to 74. If you join, you'll complete questionnaires about your health and recovery, which will contribute to better treatment plans and support for people facing similar health challenges. Your input will be valuable in helping doctors understand how to improve care for patients with upper digestive diseases.
