Comparing two tests for stomach growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to check stomach growths: a special microscope test called pCLE and a standard tissue sample test. It aims to see which one finds problems more accurately before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have had a pCLE examination of your stomach.
- You must have had or will have an endoscopic procedure called ESD to remove a stomach growth.
- You must have a tissue sample (biopsy) taken before the ESD procedure.

This study looks at early stomach cancer treated with ESD, a procedure to remove the tumor through the stomach lining, and how the depth of the scar relates to healing. It may help doctors predict better outcomes and improve the procedure for suitable patients.
This trial compares two special camera methods (pCLE and EB) used during endoscopy to better see and diagnose early stomach changes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for precancerous spots or very early cancer.
This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
This study compares two approaches after a non-curative ESD for early stomach cancer: one that removes sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes where cancer might spread) and one that does not. Participating may help find out if removing these nodes improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of two surgical techniques for early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to remove the tumor and check nearby lymph nodes more precisely, which may help guide treatment and reduce side effects.
