Stapler type choice for stomach cancer surgery connection
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical stapler methods used to connect the esophagus to the small intestine after stomach cancer surgery. It may help find which method works better and is safer for certain stomach cancer patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stomach cancer confirmed by biopsy (adenocarcinoma).
- Your cancer stage is T1 to T4 (not early only and not already described as distant spread).
- Your daily functioning is good: you’re rated 0 or 1 on a common cancer activity scale.
- Your body can handle treatment, based on blood and organ test results your team will review.
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis).
- You haven’t had chemotherapy or radiation for another past cancer.
