What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks back at medical records from high-volume hospitals in Russia and China to compare how patients with stomach cancer or cancer at the junction of the stomach and esophagus fare after a specific surgery called proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction. Researchers will examine postoperative acid reflux, nutritional status, complications, and long-term survival. By matching similar patients from both countries, they aim to see whether outcomes differ and what factors influence recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (a surgical procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this analysis could clarify which patients benefit most from this surgery and guide surgeons in choosing the best reconstruction method to reduce reflux and improve nutrition.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective review of existing records, not a controlled experiment, so differences between patient groups may bias the results. Findings may not apply to other hospitals or populations.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 to 75 years. 2. Histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma or Siewert type II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. 3. Underwent proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction. 4. Surgery performed with curative intent. 5. At least one valid postoperative follow-up record containing reflux, nutritional, or complication information. 6. Clinical, pathological, operative, and follow-up data sufficiently complete for analysis, with less than 20 percent missingness in key variables. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous gastric or esophageal surgery, except limited endoscopic treatment such as endoscopic mucosal resection. 2. Synchronous or metachronous malignancy, except cured non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ. 3. Complete absence of follow-up data. 4. Double-tract reconstruction not completed or changed to another reconstruction method. 5. Severe preoperative reflux disease, defined as GERD-Q score greater than 8 with a requirement for long-term medication.
