Lymph node spread in stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have stomach cancer that has not spread to other organs, confirmed by a biopsy
- Your tumor is at a stage where surgery to remove part of the stomach is possible
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I, II, or III)
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery
- You have not had previous surgery on your upper abdomen

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 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.
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 tests combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes by shrinking tumors before they are removed.
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.
