To optimize recovery after esophagectomy, particularly nutritional well-being, a personalized multidisciplinary survivorship clinic was established at this center. Assessments at 6 and 12\u00a0months postoperatively include validated European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) symptom and health-related quality of life (HRQL) questionnaires, functional status review, anthropometry, and biochemical screening for micronutrient deficiencies. 75 patients, at a mean age of 63\u00a0years, 84% male, 85% with adenocarcinoma, and 73% receiving multimodal therapy were included. Mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) was 27.5 (4.3) kg m \u22122. 6- and 12-month assessments were completed by 66 (88%) and 37 (93%) recurrence-free patients, respectively. Mean body weight loss at 6 months was 8.5\u2009\u00b1\u20096.6% and at 12\u00a0months 8.8\u2009\u00b1\u20097.3%. Of the 12-month cohort, micronutrient deficiency was present in 27 (79.4%) preoperatively and 29 (80.6%) after 1 year (P\u2009=\u20090.727), most commonly iron deficiency (preoperative: 16 [43.2%] and postoperative: 17 [45.9%] patients, P\u2009=\u20090.100). 26 (70.3%) of these patients also had clinically significant dumping syndrome persisting to 12\u00a0months after surgery. We describe a novel follow-up support structure for esophageal cancer patients in the first year of survivorship. This may serve as an exemplar model with parallel application across oncological care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doaa061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,22]],"date-time":"2020-06-22T07:57:57Z","timestamp":1592812677000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Early
