Keyhole biopsy for suspected abdominal cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a less invasive way to take a tissue sample from a suspicious mass in the belly, which may help diagnose cancer with less pain and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at laparoscopic (keyhole) total stomach removal for people with advanced stomach cancer in the upper or middle part of the stomach. It aims to see whether this operation approach is safe and useful based on your tumor stage and overall health.
This study tests a specific way of performing keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery for left-sided colorectal cancer. The approach may help remove the tumor more safely and completely, potentially improving recovery.
This trial uses a special needle (TRU-Cut biopsy) to take a small tissue sample from a tumor in your abdomen or pelvis. The goal is to better understand the type of cancer and help guide your treatment.
This trial uses a special camera that takes detailed images during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to help doctors see tissue better. It is being tested in people having gallbladder or colon cancer surgery to see if it improves outcomes.
This study tests a keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to cut away scar tissue (adhesiolysis) that is blocking the intestine. It is for people whose blockage is caused by scar tissue and who have not gotten better with non-surgical care.
