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

This trial is testing a combined approach using two types of endoscopy (a tube with a camera) along with minimally invasive surgery to treat early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to remove the cancer with less impact on your body compared to standard surgery.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the main blood vessels (para-aortic area). The surgery is done after a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for patients with cancer in the upper part of the stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if the new approach is safe and effective for removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
