Robotic stomach surgery study for early cancer near the top
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- Your stomach tumor is in the upper (proximal) part of the stomach.
- Your diagnosis has been confirmed as stomach cancer (gastric adenocarcinoma) based on biopsy results.
- Your cancer stage is early (stage IA or IB, such as T1N0M0 or T1N1M0/T2N0M0).
- You are planned to have robotic proximal gastrectomy with lymph node removal (D1+/D2), and the team thinks they can remove it completely (R0).
- You can safely have surgery from a heart/lung standpoint (ASA I to III), and you’ve signed consent.

This trial compares two types of surgery for early stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery helps patients recover better while still removing the cancer completely.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for early-stage stomach cancer affecting the upper portion. Researchers want to see if a newer single-port technique (using one small incision) works as well as traditional laparoscopic surgery (using multiple small incisions) and may cause less pain or faster recovery.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for early-stage cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery is better at preserving quality of life while being as safe and effective as the other.
This trial tests a new robotic technique for stomach cancer surgery using an extra robot arm. It may help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach offers better outcomes and recovery for patients.
