Laparoscopic surgery for stomach GIST by tumor site
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether doing laparoscopic surgery for stomach GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) works and is safe when the tumor is in a “favorable” versus “unfavorable” location. You might be eligible if your tumor is confirmed as GIST and doctors expect to remove it completely using keyhole surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your age is 18 to 75 years old
- Your stomach tumor is confirmed as GIST from biopsy (pre- and/or imaging helped suspect it, and surgical/path results confirm it)
- Doctors plan for a complete removal (R0) using laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery
- Your general health status is ECOG 0 or 1 and your anesthesia risk (ASA) is I to III
- Your tumor is 10 cm or smaller

This trial compares two laparoscopic surgeries for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It looks at whether preserving a nerve (celiac branch of vagus nerve) during surgery leads to better recovery while still removing the cancer safely.
This study compares two ways surgeons reconnect the digestive tract after removing the whole stomach for certain stomach cancers near the esophagus. It aims to see which technique is safer and leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
This study looks at how surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) works, and collects tumor samples to study them under the microscope and by DNA testing. Your results may help researchers better predict tumor behavior and guide future treatment.
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 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.
