Comparing two ways to remove small stomach growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to remove tiny, non-cancerous stomach growths—using a gentle heat tool (argon plasma coagulation) or a special scope to cut them out. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- This is your first time being treated for this type of growth.
- You have not had stomach surgery before.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions that might make the study unsafe.

This trial compares two types of laparoscopic surgery for cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for patients with early-stage disease.
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 tests whether using argon plasma coagulation (a type of heat treatment) on the edges after removing a large colon polyp helps prevent leftover tissue from growing back. It is for people who have had a large non-cancerous polyp (at least 2 cm) removed in pieces during a colonoscopy.
This trial tests a technique called full-time RDI during ESD (a minimally invasive procedure to remove early stomach cancer). The goal is to see if it can lower the chance of serious side effects and shorten the procedure time. If you are scheduled for this surgery and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial studies a specialized endoscopy procedure to remove larger abnormal growths in the upper digestive tract. It may help people whose lesion size and depth make certain removal techniques a better fit.
This trial tests a special device that helps doctors remove large or tricky growths from the colon or stomach during a procedure called ESD. It may be an option if you have a growth that could not be removed before, is a certain size, or looks like it might be growing deeper.
