Laparoscopic stomach removal surgery for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new surgical technique to remove the entire stomach using small incisions (laparoscopy). The goal is to see if this method is safe and feasible for patients with stomach cancer that hasn't spread, potentially offering a less invasive option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have stomach cancer or cancer at the junction of the stomach and esophagus, confirmed by biopsy.

- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy for this cancer.
- You are generally healthy, with a body weight of at least 40 kg (about 88 lbs) and a BMI between 18.5 and 30.

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 compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This study is looking at how far surgeons should remove lymph nodes during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors decide the best way to remove cancer while reducing side effects.
This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
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 looks at laparoscopic (keyhole) total stomach removal for people with advanced stomach cancer in the upper or middle part of the stomach. It aims to see whether this operation approach is safe and useful based on your tumor stage and overall health.
