Compare minimally invasive and full stomach surgery for upper cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive ways to operate on the stomach area for cancers near the stomach and esophagus (GEJ). It looks at whether one surgical approach is better for long-term outcomes when the goal is cure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can speak and read English, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean
- You have biopsy-proven stomach (gastric) or GEJ adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant places
- Your doctors plan to do curative surgery using a minimally invasive approach (MIPG or MITG)
- You are age 18 or older
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have certain conditions that affect digestion (malabsorption) or the upper GI tract, and you can follow study visits and procedures

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat early stomach cancer using two types of endoscopes (thin, flexible tubes with cameras) together. It may be an option for people whose cancer has just started to grow into the deeper layer of the stomach wall but has not spread elsewhere.
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.
This trial compares two types of laparoscopic surgery for cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for patients with early-stage disease.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer to see which is better. It is for people whose cancer can be removed with surgery and who are healthy enough for either approach.
This trial compares three ways to reconnect the digestive tract after surgery for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. The goal is to find which method works best for recovery.
This trial compares two laparoscopic surgeries for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It looks at whether preserving a nerve (celiac branch of vagus nerve) during surgery leads to better recovery while still removing the cancer safely.
