Trial Title: Bone Microstructure by Using HR-pQCT After Esophagectomy

NCT ID: NCT05812235

Condition: Osteoporosis
Sarcopenia
Esophageal Cancer

Conditions: Official terms:
Osteoporosis
Sarcopenia

Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Overall status: Not yet recruiting

Study design:

Time perspective: Prospective

Intervention:

Intervention type: Procedure
Intervention name: esophagectomy
Description: esophagectomy
Arm group label: Esophagectomy

Summary: Esophagectomy is most curative treatment to esophageal cancer. However, osteoporosis , which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after esophagectomy. At least 3 years should have elapsed since operation without recurrence of esophageal cancer.

Detailed description: The patients after esophagectomy loss appetite and decrease the weight. Esophagectomy especially cause severe sarcopenia and metabolic change. Osteoporosis, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after esophagectomy. The primary tools for assessing volumetric density and bone structure are quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and more recently, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). However the validation of osteoporosis with HR-pQCT in the long course after esophagectomy remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using HR-pQCT in the long course after esophagectomy. At least 3 years should have elapsed since esophagectomy without any recurrence.
