Testing biopsy samples vs surgery samples for stomach cancer testing
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of getting stomach cancer tissue: a camera-guided biopsy and a tissue sample taken during planned stomach surgery. The goal is to see which sample better supports molecular (gene-based) testing to guide diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of surgery for early stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery helps patients recover better while still removing the cancer completely.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for early-stage cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery is better at preserving quality of life while being as safe and effective as the other.
This study is looking for people with stomach discomfort who are coming to this hospital for an endoscopy. Researchers will use the test results to help catch stomach cancer early and keep an eye on it after surgery.
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 looks at using a blood test that finds tiny bits of cancer DNA to decide if you need extra chemotherapy after surgery. It aims to make treatment more personalized and reduce side effects for people with locally advanced stomach cancer.
This study looks at cancer cell deposits found in the area where the right and left stomach-supporting tissues meet, after surgery for stomach cancer. It may help doctors understand how cancer spreads and improve future treatment.
