Robotic surgery vs assisted robotic surgery for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of robot-assisted operations to remove part of the stomach for gastric cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for achieving complete tumor removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 and under 75 years old
- Your stomach cancer is confirmed by biopsy as a primary stomach adenocarcinoma
- Your scans/tests show no spread to distant organs (M0) and a resectable tumor stage (cT1–4a)
- Your planned treatment is a distal gastrectomy with lymph node removal (D1+ or D2) with an expected clear margins (R0)
- Your heart/lung/overall health is stable enough for surgery (ECOG 0–1; ASA I–III; lung test FEV1 50% or higher)
- You can give written consent and have not had certain prior treatments or surgeries (see below)

This trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery to remove the whole stomach for certain “locally advanced” cancers in the middle or upper stomach. It aims to see which approach is safer and more effective, including how completely the cancer can be removed.
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 a newer, less invasive robotic surgery with the standard laparoscopic approach for removing part of the stomach in people with early-stage gastric cancer. It aims to see if the robotic method offers better recovery or 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 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 special navigation system to help surgeons perform robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery. It aims to make the surgery more precise and safe.
