Comparing two surgeries for advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have a specific type of gastroesophageal junction cancer (Siewert type II or III) that has spread to nearby areas but not far away.
- A team of cancer specialists has reviewed your case and said you can have surgery to remove the cancer.
- You are fit enough to undergo major surgery and anesthesia (not at very high risk).
- You are not pregnant and can give written consent to join the study.

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 laparoscopic stomach surgery for people with early upper-stomach (proximal) gastric cancer. It looks to see which approach works better while still aiming to fully remove the cancer.
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 laparoscopic surgeries for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It looks at whether preserving a nerve (celiac branch of vagus nerve) during surgery leads to better recovery while still removing the cancer safely.
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
