New surgery technique for upper stomach or junction cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical technique for removing cancer in the upper stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if this technique is safe and effective for people with early-stage adenocarcinoma who haven't had other cancer treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer) in the upper stomach or where the stomach joins the esophagus, at an early stage
- Have not had any upper abdomen surgery before (except gallbladder removal)
- Have not had chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy for this cancer
- Be healthy enough for surgery, with good organ function and no serious heart or lung problems

This trial tests a specific surgical technique for early-stage stomach cancer located in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if this reconstruction method works well after removing the tumor.
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 laparoscopic surgeries for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It looks at whether preserving a nerve (celiac branch of vagus nerve) during surgery leads to better recovery while still removing the cancer safely.
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 of removing lymph nodes during surgery: keyhole (laparoscopic) versus open surgery. It is for people with esophagus-stomach junction adenocarcinoma, aiming to see which approach works better and is safer.
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
