Comparing two stomach bypass surgeries for advanced stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stomach cancer (a type called adenocarcinoma) that has spread and cannot be fully removed with surgery.
- The cancer is blocking the lower part of your stomach where food empties into the small intestine, causing symptoms like vomiting or trouble eating.
- Your tumor is only in the lower third of your stomach, not extending into the middle.
- You are between 20 and 85 years old.
- You are generally able to care for yourself (score of 2 or less on the ECOG performance scale).
- You are not in need of emergency surgery for bleeding or a hole, and your nutrition is okay (blood albumin level above 2.5).

This trial compares two ways to bypass a blockage in your stomach caused by cancer near the pancreas or duodenum. Both approaches create a new connection so food can pass through, but one uses a camera-guided tube (endoscopic) and the other is surgical.
