Stomach-Saving surgery could help cancer patients keep weight on
NCT ID NCT07260461
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a new, less invasive surgery that removes only the cancerous upper part of the stomach to the standard full stomach removal. The goal is to see if the new approach helps patients lose less weight one year after surgery. The trial will enroll 120 adults with early-stage stomach cancer and track their weight, quality of life, and side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with tubular stomach-based right-opening single flap valvuloplasty (LPG-tbROSF)
What this could lead to
If successful, this new surgery could help patients with early stomach cancer keep more of their stomach, leading to better nutrition and less weight loss after recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 120 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The new surgery may not control cancer as well as total removal, and there is a risk of acid reflux or other complications.
