Comparing two keyhole surgeries for early upper stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for early-stage cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery is better at preserving quality of life while being as safe and effective as the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer (confined to the stomach, no spread to lymph nodes).
- The tumor is located in the upper part of your stomach.
- You are generally in good health, with a performance status score of 0 or 1 (able to carry out normal activities).
- You are not severely malnourished (your body mass index is above 16 and your albumin level is above 25 g/L).
- You have not had previous major stomach or upper abdominal surgery that would affect the procedure.

This trial compares two types of surgery for early stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery helps patients recover better while still removing the cancer completely.
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 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 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 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.
