Robotic-assisted removal of early stomach or colon tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic system (Endorobotics) to remove early-stage stomach or colon tumors using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera). The goal is to see if the robot helps doctors remove the entire tumor safely and effectively, especially when standard methods are challenging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an early-stage tumor or abnormal growth in your stomach or colon/rectum that needs to be removed.
- Standard methods (using a wire loop) can't easily remove the whole growth in one piece, or there is scar tissue under the tumor.
- The tumor has not spread deeply into the organ wall or to other parts of your body.
- You are not pregnant, and you are generally healthy enough to undergo anesthesia.
- You are not currently in another clinical trial.

This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the rectum without traditional surgery. It may help people who have early-stage rectal tumors that are too big for standard removal methods.
This trial uses a special magnetic device to help doctors remove early-stage growths in the stomach or colon during a standard procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The magnet pulls the tissue into a better position, which may make the removal safer and more effective.
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
This study compares a new robot-assisted endoscope to the standard endoscope for removing small stomach tumors. It aims to see if the robot makes the procedure safer or more effective.
This trial compares a newer, simpler robotic tool to the usual method for removing certain colon growths during endoscopy. Its goal is to see if the robotic approach is safer or more effective.
