The ENSURE Study

European Investigation of Surveillance after Resection for Esophageal cancer (ENSURE study)

The results of this European study reinforce the need of a RCT:

The survey established that there is widespread heterogeneity in surveillance protocols in Europe, and the vast majority of centres agreed there is a need for an RCT examining this issue.

Intensive surveillance was associated with increased detection of isolated or anastomotic recurrence and improved overall survival.
