Combined endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery for early stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a combined approach using two types of endoscopy (a tube with a camera) along with minimally invasive surgery to treat early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to remove the cancer with less impact on your body compared to standard surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You need a biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma (a type of stomach cancer).
- The cancer must be at an early stage (T1b) that has not spread deeply into the stomach wall or to distant organs.
- You must not have had any previous treatment for this cancer.
- You must not have serious other health conditions, such as severe heart, lung, or brain disease.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must not have had prior abdominal surgery or any other cancer.

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 study tests a less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer that combines a camera in the belly with a scope down the throat. It aims to remove the cancer while saving as much of the stomach as possible, which may mean a quicker recovery and better quality of life.
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 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 studies whether a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) removal of the entire stomach, along with lymph node removal, can be done safely and effectively for certain stomach cancers. It may be an option if your cancer is in the stomach, has limited spread to nearby lymph nodes, and can be fully removed.
This trial tests a combination of two surgical techniques for early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to remove the tumor and check nearby lymph nodes more precisely, which may help guide treatment and reduce side effects.
