Removing the omentum during stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for stomach cancer that can be removed: one that removes the omentum (a layer of tissue covering the stomach) and one that keeps it. The goal is to see if removing the omentum improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stomach cancer that can be removed with surgery.
- Your cancer is at a stage where it has grown into or through the stomach wall (T3 or T4) and may or may not have spread to nearby lymph nodes (N+ or N-), but has not spread to distant organs (M0).
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery.

This study compares two ways of doing surgery for gastric (stomach) cancer: saving the omentum versus removing it completely. It may help doctors learn which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
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.
This trial compares removing part or all of the fatty lining of the stomach (omentum) during minimally invasive surgery for a certain stage of gastric cancer. The goal is to see if removing less tissue is as safe and effective.
This trial is testing a new surgical technique to remove the entire stomach using small incisions (laparoscopy). The goal is to see if this method is safe and feasible for patients with stomach cancer that hasn't spread, potentially offering a less invasive option.
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 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.
