Robot vs keyhole surgery for middle and upper stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a type of stomach cancer that starts in the middle or upper part of the stomach.
- Your cancer is in a stage where it can be removed completely with surgery.
- You have not had major stomach surgery before (small procedures to remove early cancer are okay).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation for your stomach cancer before this study.
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (based on your doctor's assessment).

This trial compares two types of robotic surgery to remove stomach cancer. It aims to see which method is better for recovery and outcomes. If you have stomach cancer that can be removed with surgery, this study may help you.
This study compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for people with stage Ib, II, or III stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
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 trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer patients who have already received chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes after neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) treatment.
