Predicting stomach cancer risk in people with high-risk endoscopy findings
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is looking at people at high risk for stomach cancer to see if doctors can predict from their endoscopy results whether they might develop cancer or pre-cancerous changes. It focuses on those with H. pylori infection or atrophic gastritis (thinning of the stomach lining) but no current cancer, so they can be monitored more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 45 years or older.
- You must have at least one risk factor for stomach cancer, such as H. pylori infection, living in a high-risk area, a history of certain stomach conditions, a family history, or habits like smoking or heavy drinking.
- Your initial upper endoscopy must have found no cancer or precancerous lesions, but it must have shown high-risk features like active H. pylori or atrophic gastritis.
- You cannot have had stomach surgery before, and you must not be on blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
- You must not have severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease, or other active cancers or serious infections.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and come back for follow-up visits.

This trial studies whether a condition called atrophic gastritis (thinning of the stomach lining) can help predict who is more likely to develop stomach cancer. It may help with early detection and prevention.
This study is looking for people with stomach discomfort who are coming to this hospital for an endoscopy. Researchers will use the test results to help catch stomach cancer early and keep an eye on it after surgery.
This study looks at people with certain stomach symptoms or precancer risk factors when they get a camera test of the upper digestive tract (endoscopy). The goal is to learn how to better detect and evaluate stomach precancer conditions early, which may help guide treatment or follow-up.
This study follows people who carry a high-risk type of Helicobacter pylori (a stomach bacteria) to see if they develop gastric cancer. It aims to understand who is most at risk and how to monitor them over time.
This study uses high-definition endoscopy to look at early changes in the stomach lining that might lead to cancer. It aims to better understand these changes in people having a routine upper endoscopy for stomach-related symptoms.
This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
