Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will be a carried out through a prospective observational cohort design in conjunction with researchers in the African Esophageal Cancer Consortium (AfrECC). The purpose of this research is to prospectively evaluate outcomes related to existing treatment strategies for esophageal cancer (EC) at participating sites within AfrECC.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Participants with Esophageal Cancer
- description
- Participants with esophageal cancer will be administered questionnaires, and medical charts will be accessed to collect study related data.
- interventionNames
- Other: Assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs)
Primary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Proportion of esophageal cancer (EC) participants receiving treatment with varying treatment modalities at participating AfrECC sites
- timeFrame
- Up to 4 years
- description
- Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the proportion of EC patients receiving treatment with each modality at participating AfrECC sites. The investigators will assess the associations between demographic and clinicopathologic characteristic and treatment modalities employed (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, chemo-radiation, esophageal stenting, esophagectomy, supportive care alone, or a combination of these treatments)
- measure
- Change in scores of the Modified Rosenblatt Index over time
- timeFrame
