Robotic tools vs. human-assisted tools in stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed stomach adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer) before surgery.
- All visible cancer was removed (R0 resection).
- You are fairly healthy overall (ASA score of 3 or lower, meaning no severe health problems).
- You are scheduled for a robotic distal gastrectomy (removing the lower part of the stomach).
- You are 19 years or older.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this 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 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.
