Comparing extra check-ups after stomach removal for advanced stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of following up after stomach removal surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It looks at whether more frequent check-ups and scans help patients live longer and feel better compared to the usual follow-up schedule.

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 studies whether removing all of the fatty lining (omentum) or only part of it during surgery leads to better outcomes in people with advanced stomach cancer. It also checks that participants can safely have the same stomach-cancer chemotherapy plan after surgery.
This study monitors people after surgery for gastric cancer. It checks how patients recover and helps doctors learn more about the condition. You can join if you have stomach discomfort and are receiving care at the gastric surgery clinic of this center.
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 types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
