Endoscopic treatment for certain superficial stomach growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies how safe and effective a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is for treating certain early, superficial stomach (gastric) growths. It may be an option if your growth fits the endoscopy criteria and you are not a good candidate for stomach surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re older than 18 years
- Your stomach growth was diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy (tissue test)
- The growth is considered treatable with ESD based on guideline criteria
- You are either not eligible for surgery, or your case falls outside the newest surgery-friendly criteria
- Your tests did not show spread: no muscle-layer invasion, no lymph node spread, and no spread to other organs

This trial studies a specialized endoscopy procedure to remove larger abnormal growths in the upper digestive tract. It may help people whose lesion size and depth make certain removal techniques a better fit.
This study looks at endoscopic submucosal dissection, a procedure to remove early growths in the stomach or other parts of the GI tract, using the UK approach. You may benefit by having your treatment guided within a research study and closer follow-up.
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it through an endoscope versus doing an operation. It’s meant for a specific stomach-cancer type (undifferentiated) that has not spread, to see which approach may be better.
This trial tests a new technique called RDI mode, which may help doctors remove early-stage tumors from the esophagus, stomach, or colon more safely. If you have a small early tumor or polyp, this study could help determine if the new method works better and has fewer complications.
This study looks at whether a less invasive endoscopic procedure (done through a scope) is safe and works well for removing non-cancerous stomach tumors that grow outward from the stomach wall. It compares results from people who had this scope procedure with those who had traditional surgery.
This trial is checking outcomes for adults who are scheduled to have a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), done through an endoscope. If you’re already planned for ESD and have no reasons you can’t have endoscopy, you may be able to join.
