Comparing biopsy methods for stomach tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to take a tissue sample from stomach tumors before surgery to see which works better. The results may help doctors choose the best method for patients.

This trial tests a new surgical approach combining laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery with endoscopy (a camera procedure) to remove small tumors located where the esophagus meets the stomach. The goal is to safely remove these tumors while preserving normal function.
This trial compares an endoscopic procedure (done through the mouth using a camera) versus standard surgery to treat early gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for early, limited-stage tumors.
This study compares two ways of getting stomach cancer tissue: a camera-guided biopsy and a tissue sample taken during planned stomach surgery. The goal is to see which sample better supports molecular (gene-based) testing to guide diagnosis.
This trial compares two endoscopic techniques (EFTR and STER) for removing small to medium-sized GIST tumors from the stomach wall. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective.
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 study tests a special contrast-enhanced ultrasound to help doctors tell the difference between two types of growths in the gut: GISTs and leiomyomas. If you have one of these growths and are scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound, this test might provide clearer information.
