Lymph node spread after total stomach removal for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at where cancer spreads in the short stomach area after total stomach removal surgery. It aims to understand lymph node and tumor deposits better to help guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have stomach adenocarcinoma that is confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your tumor stage is T2 to T4a, with no distant spread, based on standard cancer staging.
- You are having a total gastrectomy with extended lymph node removal and full removal of the stomach mesentery.
- You are in good enough health for surgery as rated by the ASA classification (class I, II, or III).

This trial looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
This trial studies the importance of checking lymph nodes in the fatty tissue around the stomach during stomach cancer surgery. It helps doctors understand if examining these specific areas can improve treatment decisions.
This study looks at cancer cell deposits found in the area where the right and left stomach-supporting tissues meet, after surgery for stomach cancer. It may help doctors understand how cancer spreads and improve future treatment.
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 tests a minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the main blood vessels (para-aortic area). The surgery is done after a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
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.
