Omentum saving surgery versus full removal in stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing surgery for gastric (stomach) cancer: saving the omentum versus removing it completely. It may help doctors learn which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your stomach cancer can be fully removed by surgery and is not spread to distant organs (M0)
- Your cancer has not grown into the esophagus more than 2 cm, based on endoscopy
- You are fit for surgery (ASA 1 to 3, meaning you can safely undergo an operation)
- You are scheduled for (sub)total gastrectomy with a D2 lymph node dissection (with or without chemotherapy around surgery)
- You can consent and complete study questionnaires in Dutch, English, or Italian

This trial compares two ways of operating to remove the lower or middle part of the stomach after you finish chemotherapy. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for people with resectable stomach cancer: removing the omentum (a fatty lining) versus preserving it. It may help doctors understand which approach works best and has the fewest risks when the cancer can be fully removed.
This trial compares removing part or all of the fatty lining of the stomach (omentum) during minimally invasive surgery for a certain stage of gastric cancer. The goal is to see if removing less tissue is as safe and effective.
This trial studies whether removing all of the fatty lining (omentum) or only part of it during surgery leads to better outcomes in people with advanced stomach cancer. It also checks that participants can safely have the same stomach-cancer chemotherapy plan 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 compares two ways surgeons reconnect the digestive tract after removing the whole stomach for certain stomach cancers near the esophagus. It aims to see which technique is safer and leads to better recovery and outcomes.
