Surgery choice for resectable stomach cancer: remove or preserve omentum
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for people with resectable stomach cancer: removing the omentum (a fatty lining) versus preserving it. It may help doctors understand which approach works best and has the fewest risks when the cancer can be fully removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have resectable (operable) stomach cancer
- Your cancer is T3 or T4 and may involve nearby lymph nodes (N+), but there is no distant spread (M0)
- Your cancer has not spread to distant places (not M1)
- You are able and planned for surgery (not treated with surgery not recommended for medical reasons)
- During surgery, the team must believe the cancer can be removed (not found non-resectable)
- This is not an “endoscopic resectable” cancer (not removed only through an endoscopy)

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 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.
This trial compares two ways of operating to remove the lower or middle part of the stomach after you finish chemotherapy. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
