Summary

This trial seeks to understand why tooth enamel wears away in people with esophagogastric cancer & how often it occurs.

Who is the study for?
This study is for adults over 18 with esophagogastric cancer who can understand English or have translation services. They should be able to complete a survey and allow photos of their teeth, but those without teeth or major dental work on molars that affects enamel assessment cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand tooth enamel loss in people with various cancers including esophagogastric cancer. Participants will provide saliva samples, answer surveys about their oral health, and have pictures taken of their teeth using an intra-oral camera.
What are the potential side effects?
