Double-endoscope treatment for early stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat early stomach cancer using two types of endoscopes (thin, flexible tubes with cameras) together. It may be an option for people whose cancer has just started to grow into the deeper layer of the stomach wall but has not spread elsewhere.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (a type of stomach cancer) that is at an early stage (T1b).
- You have not received any other treatment for this cancer yet.
- You do not have other serious health problems that would make surgery unsafe.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.

This trial tests a new surgical technique for patients with cancer in the upper part of the stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if the new approach is safe and effective for removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
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.
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 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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the main blood vessels (para-aortic area). The surgery is done after a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it through an endoscope versus doing an operation. It’s meant for a specific stomach-cancer type (undifferentiated) that has not spread, to see which approach may be better.
