Endoscopic removal vs surgery for early stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it with a scope (endoscopic submucosal dissection) or with surgery. It aims to see which method works better and has fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
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 less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer that combines a camera in the belly with a scope down the throat. It aims to remove the cancer while saving as much of the stomach as possible, which may mean a quicker recovery and better quality of life.
This trial is testing a combined approach using two types of endoscopy (a tube with a camera) along with minimally invasive surgery to treat early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to remove the cancer with less impact on your body compared to standard surgery.
This study looks at endoscopic submucosal dissection, a procedure to remove early growths in the stomach or other parts of the GI tract, using the UK approach. You may benefit by having your treatment guided within a research study and closer follow-up.
