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 phase 3 trial compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for treating stomach cancer that has grown through the stomach wall (cT4a) but not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see which approach may offer better outcomes.
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 uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
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 study compares a new robot-assisted endoscope to the standard endoscope for removing small stomach tumors. It aims to see if the robot makes the procedure safer or more effective.
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.
