Compare two procedures for early stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares an endoscopic procedure (done through the mouth using a camera) versus standard surgery to treat early gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for early, limited-stage tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage stomach (gastric) cancer
- Your doctor believes your cancer can be treated with either endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgery
- You are willing to have one of these two procedures for treatment
- Your cancer is not advanced (not spread or advanced stage)
- You are willing to participate in the study

This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
This trial compares two ways to take a tissue sample from stomach tumors before surgery to see which works better. The results may help doctors choose the best method for patients.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive camera-guided surgical procedure (laparoscopy) can better detect hidden cancer spread in patients with advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to help doctors plan the best treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it through an endoscope versus doing an operation. It’s meant for a specific stomach-cancer type (undifferentiated) that has not spread, to see which approach may be better.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat early stomach cancer using two types of endoscopes (thin, flexible tubes with cameras) together. It may be an option for people whose cancer has just started to grow into the deeper layer of the stomach wall but has not spread elsewhere.
This trial studies a combined surgical approach using a camera through small incisions (laparoscopy) and a flexible tube through the mouth (endoscopy) to treat early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely remove the cancer while sparing nearby lymph nodes.
