Surgery technique comparison for stomach cancer near the esophagus
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old
- Your diagnosis is stomach (gastric) adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology
- Your planned surgery is laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node removal
- Your tumor is in the gastroesophageal junction (near the esophagus) or in the upper/middle/whole stomach, and involves the esophagus by no more than 2 cm
- No prior major upper belly surgery (except laparoscopic gallbladder removal)
- No signs of spread (metastasis) before and during surgery, and you must be well enough for surgery

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 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 tests a new surgical technique for removing cancer in the upper stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if this technique is safe and effective for people with early-stage adenocarcinoma who haven't had other cancer treatments.
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
This trial compares two different stomach cancer surgeries after removing the tumor, to see which works better for patients with stomach adenocarcinoma. It may help determine the safest approach and best recovery outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread.
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.
