Purpose
The goal of this study is to evaluate how surgery for esophageal cancer affects the patient's quality of life over time. The investigators hope this study will provide important information that can be used to improve the quality of life of patients with esophageal cancer. This study will also look at how standard tests and information collected from the patients difficulty swallowing can predict the extent of their esophageal cancer before surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- short-term pain [ Time Frame: 4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Pain intensity (average of the four pain severity items) measured by BPI at Post-op Days 1 and 3, after epidural removal, at first post-operative clinic visit, at 4 months
- short -term quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: 4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]FACT-E score at the post-op visit and at the 4 months
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- long-term pain [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Pain intensity assessed by BPI at 8 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months (average of the four pain severity items) Presence of symptoms with intensity ≥3, as assessed by the Symptom Assessment Scale at post-op visit, at 4 months visit (adjusted for pre-operative symptom intensity )
- long time quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]FACT- E score at 8 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months. Presence of symptoms with intensity ≥3, assessed by the Symptom Assessment Scale at 8 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months
- differences in surgical outcomes [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, ICU admission rates, ICU days, complication type, rates and severity as determined by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) utilized by MSKCC, rate of anastomotic leak, rate of anastomotic stricture, 90-day (post-operative) hospital readmission rates, time to oral intake, and time to first ambulation.
- Complications [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, ICU admission rates, ICU days, complication type, rates and severity as determined by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) utilized by MSKCC, rate of anastomotic leak, rate of anastomotic stricture, 90-day (post-operative) hospital readmission rates, time to oral intake, and time to first ambulation.
Other Outcome Measures:
- predict EUS T3/T4/stricture disease [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate whether a combination of a dysphagia score of 2-4 and a specific CT scan maximal tumor thickness. the patient's CT scan (either performed elsewhere or at MSK) will be reviewed by one radiologist, who will assess the maximal thickness of tumor involvement (>=cm). Patients will then undergo their planned a staging Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) by the gastroenterology service, at which time the EUS depth of invasion will be assigned. The dysphagia score and CT thickness will then be compared to the EUS depth (considered the 'gold standard')
- predict EUS T3/T4/stricture or earlier EUS disease [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]the patient's CT scan (either performed elsewhere or at MSK) will be reviewed by one radiologist, who will assess the maximal thickness of tumor involvement (>=cm). Patients will then undergo their planned staging Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) by the gastroenterology service, at which time the EUS depth of invasion will be assigned. The dysphagia score and CT thickness will then be compared to the EUS depth (considered the 'gold standard')

| Groups/Cohorts | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Pts having Minimally Invasive esophagectomy
This is a prospective non-randomized study comprising two surgical cohorts of esophageal cancer patients. Patients will be assigned to each of the two intervention groups, MIE versus OE, based on a combination of patient referral patterns, patient preference, and surgeon preference/expertise.
|
Behavioral: Quality of Life instruments, FACT-E, Symptom Assessment Scale, Brief Pain Inventory and Daily Analgesic Log
Initial pre-operative assessment post-operative assessment in-hospital assessment at first post-operative visit (clinic visits, or by telephone or mail) assessments at 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 months post-operatively (+/- 2 month window). For patients who have their surgery delayed, they may be asked to complete another, more updated set of pre-surgery surveys. For the dysphagia score and CT Scan vs EUS subset will be a dysphagia questionnaire, administered at the time of the initial clinic visit.
