Two surgical approaches for upper stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for removing upper stomach cancer. The study tests which reconstruction method—double-tract or tubular—leads to better outcomes and quality of life after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares outcomes for people who had surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach (proximal gastrectomy) with a procedure called double-tract reconstruction. It looks at reflux, nutrition, and complications after surgery.
This study keeps track of how people recover after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach and nearby lymph nodes. It mainly helps doctors understand which surgical reconstruction methods work best and how patients do over time.
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 study compares different ways of rebuilding the digestive tract after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach. It aims to find the best method to help patients recover and eat normally after their cancer surgery.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for early-stage cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery is better at preserving quality of life while being as safe and effective as the other.
