Comparing imaging methods for early stomach cancer before ESD
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to look at early-stage stomach cancer before a routine removal procedure called ESD. It will help doctors decide if a newer imaging technique called pCLE can replace the standard biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage stomach cancer and are scheduled for a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
- You do not have severe heart or lung problems.
- You do not have kidney problems or a bleeding disorder.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not allergic to fluorescein (a dye used in some medical tests).

This trial compares two ways to check stomach lining growths: a special microscope called pCLE (probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy) and the usual tissue sample (biopsy). If you've already had both tests and treatment to remove the growth, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two special camera methods (pCLE and EB) used during endoscopy to better see and diagnose early stomach changes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for precancerous spots or very early cancer.
This study tests a new way to perform ESD, a minimally invasive procedure to remove early-stage cancers or polyps from the digestive tract. The goal is to see if this new method is safer and more effective than the standard approach.
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 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.
This trial compares an endoscopic procedure (done through the mouth using a camera) versus standard surgery to treat early gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for early, limited-stage tumors.
