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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had any previous surgery on your upper digestive tract
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that can't be corrected

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 two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it with a scope (endoscopic submucosal dissection) or with surgery. It aims to see which method works better and has fewer side effects.
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 trial tests a robot-assisted procedure to remove non-cancerous or early-stage tumors from the stomach wall. It may offer a less invasive option compared to traditional surgery.
This study compares two methods of checking stomach cancer tissue: a special microscope that looks at tissue during the procedure (called probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, or pCLE) and the standard biopsy (taking a small piece of tissue for analysis). The goal is to see which method is better at detecting cancer cells before the removal procedure, which may help guide treatment decisions.
