Studying lymph nodes around the stomach in cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies the importance of checking lymph nodes in the fatty tissue around the stomach during stomach cancer surgery. It helps doctors understand if examining these specific areas can improve treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with stomach cancer (gastric adenocarcinoma) that has not spread to distant organs like the liver or lungs.
- You are scheduled to have most of your stomach removed along with the surrounding fat that holds lymph nodes (complete mesogastric excision).
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery.
- You do not have a BMI over 30 or a history of other cancers or previous stomach surgery.

This trial looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
This study looks at cancer cell deposits found in the area where the right and left stomach-supporting tissues meet, after surgery for stomach cancer. It may help doctors understand how cancer spreads and improve future treatment.
This study looks at where cancer spreads in the short stomach area after total stomach removal surgery. It aims to understand lymph node and tumor deposits better to help guide future treatment decisions.
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 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 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.
