Comparing Two Imaging Methods for Stomach Lesion Diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two special camera methods (pCLE and EB) used during endoscopy to better see and diagnose early stomach changes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for precancerous spots or very early cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a precancerous change (low or high grade) or very early stomach cancer from a biopsy.
- You are scheduled to have a minimally invasive procedure (ESD) to remove the lesion.
- You do not have advanced stomach cancer or a history of stomach removal.
- You do not have severe heart, lung, liver, kidney, or bleeding problems.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are willing and able to have an endoscopy.

This trial compares two ways to check stomach lining growths: a special microscope called pCLE (probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy) and the usual tissue sample (biopsy). If you've already had both tests and treatment to remove the growth, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
This trial tests whether removing nearby lymph nodes is enough, or if additional stomach-sparing surgery is needed, after a previous endoscopic procedure did not completely remove early stomach cancer. The goal is to see which approach is better for preventing cancer from spreading.
This study tests an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes images taken during stomach endoscopy to help diagnose early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous changes. The goal is to improve how doctors identify and treat these lesions early, when treatment is most effective.
This trial compares an endoscopic procedure (done through the mouth using a camera) versus standard surgery to treat early gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for early, limited-stage tumors.
This trial compares two ways to look at early-stage stomach cancer before a routine removal procedure called ESD. It will help doctors decide if a newer imaging technique called pCLE can replace the standard biopsy.
