New surgery for upper stomach cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for patients with cancer in the upper part of the stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if the new approach is safe and effective for removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a combined approach using two types of endoscopy (a tube with a camera) along with minimally invasive surgery to treat early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to remove the cancer with less impact on your body compared to standard surgery.
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.
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 keeps track of how people recover after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach and nearby lymph nodes. It mainly helps doctors understand which surgical reconstruction methods work best and how patients do over time.
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.
