Surgery type comparison for early-to-mid stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed stomach adenocarcinoma based on biopsy (tissue sample).
- Your tumor stage is T1, T2, T3, or T4 (not earlier than T1 and not beyond T4).
- You can carry out daily activities fairly normally (performance status 0 or 1).
- Your blood counts, kidneys, and liver tests are good enough for surgery (adequate organ function).
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis).
- Your tumor doesn’t involve the esophagus too far (esophagus invasion 3 cm or less).

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 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 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 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 studies which surgical approach (removing lymph nodes in a more limited vs more extensive way) works best for gastric cancer after you’ve already started chemotherapy before surgery. It’s aimed at improving cancer control while keeping the operation as safe as possible.
