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.

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 trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery to remove the whole stomach for certain “locally advanced” cancers in the middle or upper stomach. It aims to see which approach is safer and more effective, including how completely the cancer can be removed.
This phase 3 trial compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for treating stomach cancer that has grown through the stomach wall (cT4a) but not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see which approach may offer better outcomes.
This trial compares two types of robot-assisted operations to remove part of the stomach for gastric cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for achieving complete tumor removal.
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 a newer, less invasive robotic surgery with the standard laparoscopic approach for removing part of the stomach in people with early-stage gastric cancer. It aims to see if the robotic method offers better recovery or outcomes.
