Comparing two surgeries for early stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a confirmed early-stage adenocarcinoma in the upper third of the stomach (tumor stages cT1-2N0M0).
- Your general health is good, with an ECOG performance score of 0 or 1 (fully active or able to do light work).
- Your surgical risk is low (ASA grade I to III), meaning you are fit for surgery.
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy before surgery, and you have no other active cancers (except certain skin or cervical cancers).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have severe heart, lung, liver, kidney, or other major chronic diseases.

This trial compares two types of laparoscopic stomach surgery for people with early upper-stomach (proximal) gastric cancer. It looks to see which approach works better while still aiming to fully remove the cancer.
This trial compares two types of stomach-removing surgeries (total vs. partial gastrectomy) in people with a certain kind of advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to find out which surgery leads to better outcomes.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for early-stage stomach cancer affecting the upper portion. Researchers want to see if a newer single-port technique (using one small incision) works as well as traditional laparoscopic surgery (using multiple small incisions) and may cause less pain or faster recovery.
This trial compares two surgical methods to bypass a blocked stomach outlet caused by advanced stomach cancer, helping patients eat and digest food more easily. It aims to see which operation gives better relief with fewer complications.
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.
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
