NCT06558786
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding standard treatments for esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer/GEJ cancer. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about the effectiveness of different treatment options.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Newly diagnosed stage IV adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or GEJ with OMD at the time of diagnosis, defined as the following:
  • Retroperitoneal lymph nodes (e.g., para-aortal, intra-aorto-caval, parapancreatic, or mesenterial lymph node)
  • Liver
  • Lung
  • Extra-abdominal lymph nodes (e.g., supraclavicular or cervical lymph nodes)
  • Adrenal gland
  • Unilateral or bilateral ovarian metastases (in the absence of gross or microscopic peritoneal disease [positive cytology])
  • Bone
  • ≤2 sites of disease (excluding the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes)
  • ≤3 tumors within each organ system
  • ≤5 metastases
  • All nonregional lymph nodes (including cervical, supraclavicular, and retroperitoneal nodal disease) are considered 1 discrete lesion
  • Satellite lesions in the primary esophageal malignancy, such as skipped esophageal primaries, are not considered metastatic sites
  • All sites of disease must be amenable to complete local therapy after systemic therapy, according to the treating physician. Treatment modalities include:
  • Surgery
  • Definitive chemoradiation
  • Stereotactic radiation
  • Ablation or similar techniques (e.g., irreversible electroporation)
  • Age ≥18 years
Exclusion Criteria
  • Presence of metastases, at the time of diagnosis, to the following:

    • Peritoneum, including positive peritoneal lavage (on the basis of baseline diagnostic laparoscopy to rule out gross disease and positive peritoneal lavage cytology; laparoscopy may be omitted for patients in whom all sites of disease are above the diaphragm)
    • Malignant pleural effusion
    • Brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease
    • Other sites not specifically noted must be reviewed and approved by the PIs
    • Any site of disease that is not amenable to definitive local therapy
  • Unfit for best systemic therapy

  • Metachronous OMD

  • Secondary primary cancer, with the exclusion of basal cell carcinoma of the skin

  • Pregnant, lactating, or intending to become pregnant

  • Unwilling to provide informed consent

Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction CancerEORTC QLQ-C30 questionnairePatients will undergo assessment with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OGS25 questionnaires. Those patients who undergo local therapy will occur at baseline, months 7-9 within 45 days of local therapy, and one year/time of progression. Those patients who do not undergo local therapy will undergo assessment at baseline, at 6 months, and at one year.
