Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Early Stomach Cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a very early stage of stomach cancer (cT1N0M0) or have had a non-curative endoscopic resection (ESD) that did not completely remove the cancer.
- You have not had any previous stomach surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
- You are in good general health (able to do daily activities, no major organ problems).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not currently in another clinical trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer. A special dye is used to find the first lymph node where cancer might spread (sentinel node). If that node is cancer-free, the rest of the stomach may be saved.
This trial studies whether a fluorescent dye (a “tracer”) can help surgeons find the right area during laparoscopic distal (lower-part) stomach removal for early stomach cancer. It may improve how completely the cancer is removed while keeping surgery minimally invasive.
This trial tests whether removing nearby lymph nodes is enough, or if additional stomach-sparing surgery is needed, after a previous endoscopic procedure did not completely remove early stomach cancer. The goal is to see which approach is better for preventing cancer from spreading.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive camera-guided surgical procedure (laparoscopy) can better detect hidden cancer spread in patients with advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to help doctors plan the best treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
This trial studies a combined surgical approach using a camera through small incisions (laparoscopy) and a flexible tube through the mouth (endoscopy) to treat early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely remove the cancer while sparing nearby lymph nodes.
