Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 Score
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire is a validated patient self-reported tool. It assesses nine multi-item scales: five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional and social); three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting); and a global health and quality-of-life scale. There are also several single-item symptom measures. Patients self-report using a 4-point Likert scale. Raw scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing better functioning/QOL and greater symptom burden.

Interventions
Patients with esophageal (EC) and gastroesophageal junction (GEJC) cancers who are seen in the Esophageal and Gastric Multidisciplinary Clinic (EGMDC) for treatment planning and are recommended to receive neoadjuvant therapy and plan to receive treatment at UCCC Metro will be offered enrollment into the study. Patients will complete the patient reported assessments focused on QOL and physical activity on provided tablet computers during UCCC visits at specified time points. If unable to complete assessments in person they will be e-mailed to the patient via REDCap to complete. Additional data regarding dosing of chemotherapy, radiation, nutrition and surgical outcomes will be collected.
