Can a single surgery technique improve life after stomach cancer in two countries?
NCT ID NCT07800819
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
