Keyhole surgery for advanced stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at laparoscopic (keyhole) total stomach removal for people with advanced stomach cancer in the upper or middle part of the stomach. It aims to see whether this operation approach is safe and useful based on your tumor stage and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 75 years old
- Your stomach cancer is in the middle or upper stomach, and doctors think total stomach removal can be done with lymph node cleaning
- Pathology confirms stomach adenocarcinoma (including signet ring or similar subtypes)
- Your cancer stage fits T2 to T4a, N0 to N3, M0 (no distant spread); survival is expected to be more than 6 months
- You have no tumor spread to the Z-line (the edge where the esophagus meets the stomach)
- You’re healthy enough for surgery: BMI under 30, no recent major upper-abdominal surgery, ECOG 0–1, ASA I–III, and organ function is sufficient

This trial compares two types of stomach-removing surgeries (total vs. partial gastrectomy) in people with a certain kind of advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to find out which surgery leads to better outcomes.
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 tests a new surgical technique for patients with cancer in the upper part of the stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if the new approach is safe and effective for removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
This study tests a new surgical technique for removing cancer in the upper stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if this technique is safe and effective for people with early-stage adenocarcinoma who haven't had other cancer treatments.
