Surgery for stomach cancer and diabetes
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery for early-stage stomach cancer that also aims to improve type 2 diabetes by changing how your body processes food. It might be an option if you have both conditions and are not using insulin.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests a specific surgical technique (Billroth II with Braun anastomosis) for people with stomach cancer that can be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery and outcomes for patients who are well enough for surgery.
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 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 study compares two types of surgery for people with type 2 diabetes who also have obesity: gastric bypass alone versus gastric bypass plus a procedure called truncal vagotomy (cutting a nerve to the stomach). It aims to see which approach leads to better diabetes remission.
This study looks at how stomach cancer surgery affects metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, diabetes, and related conditions). It aims to understand why some patients see improvements in these conditions after surgery.
