Comparing stomach reconstruction types after upper stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to rebuild the digestive tract after removing the upper part of the stomach for cancer. It aims to find which method works best for eating and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with stomach cancer or cancer where the stomach meets the esophagus (Siewert type I or II).
- Your cancer is in the early to moderate stage (T1-T3, N0-N2) and has not spread to other parts of the body.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the upper part of your stomach with the goal of curing the cancer.
- Your surgery can be done through a cut in your belly, using small tools (laparoscopic), or with robotic assistance.
- You have not had any prior surgery on your stomach or colon.
- You are not having emergency surgery or surgery that is not meant to cure the cancer.
