Stomach cancer surgery showdown: which operation saves more lives?
NCT ID NCT07482566
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two surgical procedures for patients with a specific type of cancer where the stomach meets the esophagus. Half of the 120 participants will have only the upper part of the stomach removed (proximal gastrectomy), while the other half will have the entire stomach removed (total gastrectomy). Researchers will track who lives longer without the cancer coming back over three years, and also monitor complications and recovery. The goal is to find out if the less extensive surgery is just as safe and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could show that a less extensive surgery (proximal gastrectomy) is as effective as total stomach removal, potentially improving quality of life for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a surgical comparison study, not a test of a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to all patients, and both surgeries carry risks like infection or leakage.
