Robotic surgery for stomach tumors in tricky spots
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests the safety of using a robot to remove small stomach tumors (GISTs) that are in hard-to-reach places. It aims to see if robotic surgery is a good option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a stomach tumor (GIST) that is 2 to 5 centimeters in size, located in a tricky spot.
- You have not had chemotherapy or targeted therapy (like imatinib) for this tumor.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ECOG score 0 or 1, and ASA class I to III).
- You have no other active cancers or serious health issues that would make surgery risky.

This trial tests whether using a robotic arm to remove stomach cancer is safe and effective for patients who have already received chemotherapy or radiation. If you have stage III stomach cancer and are healthy enough for surgery, this approach may offer a more precise operation.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This trial tests a robot-assisted procedure to remove non-cancerous or early-stage tumors from the stomach wall. It may offer a less invasive option compared to traditional surgery.
This trial studies whether doing laparoscopic surgery for stomach GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) works and is safe when the tumor is in a “favorable” versus “unfavorable” location. You might be eligible if your tumor is confirmed as GIST and doctors expect to remove it completely using keyhole surgery.
This trial tests a new robotic technique for stomach cancer surgery using an extra robot arm. It may help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
This trial is testing a newer, less invasive robotic surgery technique that uses just one small incision to remove stomach cancer. It may offer faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery.
