Autofocus versus segmented focus for stomach endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of focusing a special endoscope during a stomach exam. It aims to see if one method helps doctors get clearer images faster, which could improve diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a stomach condition or suspicious lesion that needs a magnified endoscopy exam.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe heart or lung problems that make endoscopy unsafe.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had stomach surgery that could affect the exam.

This study compares two ways of getting stomach cancer tissue: a camera-guided biopsy and a tissue sample taken during planned stomach surgery. The goal is to see which sample better supports molecular (gene-based) testing to guide diagnosis.
This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
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 tests a less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer that combines a camera in the belly with a scope down the throat. It aims to remove the cancer while saving as much of the stomach as possible, which may mean a quicker recovery and better quality of life.
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.
This study compares two methods of checking stomach cancer tissue: a special microscope that looks at tissue during the procedure (called probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, or pCLE) and the standard biopsy (taking a small piece of tissue for analysis). The goal is to see which method is better at detecting cancer cells before the removal procedure, which may help guide treatment decisions.
