A study of a new scope procedure for stomach tumors
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new scope-based surgery to remove certain stomach tumors that grow outward from the stomach wall. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a stomach tumor that shows up on a CT scan as growing outside the stomach wall.
- An endoscopic ultrasound confirms the tumor is under the lining of the stomach and growing outward.
- You received either an endoscopic removal or surgical treatment for the tumor.
- You do not have any cancerous tumors in your stomach.
- You have not had any previous stomach surgery.
- Your follow-up records after treatment are complete.

This trial studies how safe and effective a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is for treating certain early, superficial stomach (gastric) growths. It may be an option if your growth fits the endoscopy criteria and you are not a good candidate for stomach surgery.
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.
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 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 compares two endoscopic techniques (EFTR and STER) for removing small to medium-sized GIST tumors from the stomach wall. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective.
This trial looks at people (18 or older) who already had a digestive tract tumor removed using an endoscopy procedure. It may help doctors learn how this approach works and what outcomes to expect after removal.
