Track a sentinel lymph node during stomach cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to find the first lymph node that may be affected by stomach cancer during planned surgery. If it works safely, it could help doctors better plan treatment after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have biopsy-proven stomach cancer (stomach adenocarcinoma)
- Plan to have curative-intent surgery (gastrectomy)
- Your cancer must be 4 cm or smaller by endoscopy measurement before treatment
- Your cancer should not have spread to distant organs (no distant metastases)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests whether a special green dye (indocyanine green) injected during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery helps doctors remove more lymph nodes, which may improve treatment. It is for people with stomach adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs.
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer. A special dye is used to find the first lymph node where cancer might spread (sentinel node). If that node is cancer-free, the rest of the stomach may be saved.
This trial studies whether a fluorescent dye (a “tracer”) can help surgeons find the right area during laparoscopic distal (lower-part) stomach removal for early stomach cancer. It may improve how completely the cancer is removed while keeping surgery minimally invasive.
This trial tests whether a green dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons find and remove more lymph nodes during laparoscopic surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may improve the chances of removing all cancer.
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
