Robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for advanced stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach offers better outcomes and recovery for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with stomach adenocarcinoma (a type of stomach cancer) through a biopsy.
- Your cancer is locally advanced but has not spread to distant organs.
- Your overall health status is good (ECOG score 0 or 1, meaning you are fully active or have mild symptoms).
- You have not had prior stomach cancer surgery or other upper abdominal surgery (except gallbladder removal).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have other serious medical conditions like recent heart attack or stroke.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a newer, less invasive robotic surgery technique that uses just one small incision to remove stomach cancer. It may offer faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery.
This study compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for people with stage Ib, II, or III stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer patients who have already received chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes after neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) treatment.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This trial compares two types of robotic surgery to remove stomach cancer. It aims to see which method is better for recovery and outcomes. If you have stomach cancer that can be removed with surgery, this study may help you.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
