Robotic surgery for stomach cancer: total versus assisted
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of robotic surgery to remove stomach cancer. It aims to see which method is better for recovery and outcomes. If you have stomach cancer that can be removed with surgery, this study may help you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with stomach cancer (confirmed by biopsy).
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (stage M0).
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- You have not had major stomach or upper belly surgery before (except for a simple gallbladder removal).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery.

This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
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 study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
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 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.
