Laparoscopic total stomach surgery trial for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) removal of the entire stomach, along with lymph node removal, can be done safely and effectively for certain stomach cancers. It may be an option if your cancer is in the stomach, has limited spread to nearby lymph nodes, and can be fully removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 20 to under 80
- Your overall health is good enough to do daily activities (ECOG 0–1)
- Your anesthesia risk is low to moderate (ASA class I–III)
- Your stomach cancer is confirmed by biopsy and does not involve the Z-line on endoscopy
- Scans suggest the tumor can be fully removed with total stomach removal plus lymph node dissection (cT2 to cT4a, cN0 to cN2)
- You have no distant spread on pre-surgery scans and you can be followed for at least 3 years

This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
This trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery to remove the whole stomach for certain “locally advanced” cancers in the middle or upper stomach. It aims to see which approach is safer and more effective, including how completely the cancer can be removed.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the main blood vessels (para-aortic area). The surgery is done after a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial studies which surgical approach (removing lymph nodes in a more limited vs more extensive way) works best for gastric cancer after you’ve already started chemotherapy before surgery. It’s aimed at improving cancer control while keeping the operation as safe as possible.
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
