Enhanced vs. routine follow-up after stomach removal for advanced cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two different types of follow-up care after total stomach removal surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see if a more intensive follow-up plan helps patients live longer or feel better than the usual check-ups.

This study looks at how long people with stage II or III stomach (gastric) cancer tend to live and how their day-to-day well-being changes over different follow-up times after surgery. It may help doctors understand the best follow-up schedule to support recovery.
This trial is for people who have already had chemotherapy and surgery for stomach cancer. It compares different follow-up approaches to see if skipping more chemo after surgery is safe and effective.
This study looks at how often people who had surgery for esophageal or stomach cancer should have follow-up tests. It aims to find the best way to monitor you after treatment.
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.
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 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.
