Watching recovery after surgery for upper stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study keeps track of how people recover after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach and nearby lymph nodes. It mainly helps doctors understand which surgical reconstruction methods work best and how patients do over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have stomach (or esophagus–stomach junction) cancer that has not spread to distant organs.
- Your tumor is in the upper stomach area or the esophagus–stomach junction, and the size/invasion fits these limits (including esophagus involvement of no more than 2 cm and a tumor diameter under 4 cm).
- Your diagnosis is confirmed as a type of stomach adenocarcinoma by pathology (lab testing of tissue).
- You are well enough for surgery (ECOG 0–1, and ASA class I–III).
