Testing robot-assisted vs standard surgery for resectable esophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a robot-assisted approach to a standard minimally invasive approach for surgery in people with certain types of esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be removed. It aims to see which surgery method works better and is safer for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific cancer type: adenocarcinoma in the esophagus or the gastroesophageal junction.
- Your cancer can be fully removed with surgery (it has not spread to distant organs).
- Your tumor location must match types Siewert I or II, not type III.
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- Your overall health/activity level is good enough for study surgery (ECOG 0, 1, or 2).
- You agree to participate by signing an informed consent form.

This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with the standard open chest operation to remove esophagus and nearby tissue. It may help you understand which approach works better and is safer for patients whose cancer can be surgically removed.
This trial compares two types of surgery for esophageal cancer after you've already had chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see which surgery is better for removing the cancer and helping you recover.
This study tests a new robotic surgery system for a specific type of stomach-adjacent cancer. The goal is to see if the robotic approach is safe and effective in removing the tumor.
This study compares two ways to perform surgery for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if doing the surgery with minimally invasive techniques (using small incisions and cameras) is as safe and effective as a hybrid method that uses both small and larger incisions. Your participation may help doctors improve surgical options for future patients.
This study compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for people with stage Ib, II, or III stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
