Blood test guided follow-up treatment for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether using a blood test to find tiny amounts of cancer DNA after initial treatment can guide decisions about further therapy for people with stomach cancer. The goal is to personalize follow-up treatment to reduce the chance of cancer returning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 79 years old.
- You need a diagnosis of stomach cancer or cancer at the junction where the stomach meets the food pipe, at a locally advanced stage (cIII to cIVa) that can be removed with surgery.
- You should be in generally good physical condition (able to care for yourself, but not necessarily fully active).
- You must have adequate blood counts and liver, kidney, and heart function as checked by routine blood tests.
- You must not have had any previous cancer treatment for this tumor before starting the study treatment.
- You cannot have other serious active infections or uncontrolled diseases, and you must not have had other cancers recently (except certain early-stage skin cancers or bladder cancer that was completely removed).

This study looks at using a blood test that finds tiny bits of cancer DNA to decide if you need extra chemotherapy after surgery. It aims to make treatment more personalized and reduce side effects for people with locally advanced stomach cancer.
This study uses special blood tests to detect cancer DNA and help doctors decide the best treatment plan for gastric cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on how your cancer responds.
This study tracks a simple blood test to look for tiny traces of cancer DNA after stomach cancer surgery. It aims to see if this test can catch any cancer coming back early, so you can get treatment sooner.
This study tests a new way to guide treatment after surgery for stomach cancer. It uses a blood test to look for tiny pieces of cancer DNA, and then gives extra treatment only to people who still have signs of cancer. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
This trial studies blood-based biomarkers to help doctors choose the best individualized surgical treatment for gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. If you qualify, you’ll get standard care plus additional testing to see whether the blood results can guide surgery more precisely.
This trial checks whether a blood test after surgery (ctDNA) can help decide if you should receive additional “adjuvant” treatment for stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or lower esophagus cancer that has HER2-positive tumors. It may help reduce the chance of cancer coming back by tailoring therapy to your risk based on the ctDNA result.
