Microinvasive gastric cancer
MONDO:0001060An invasive adenocarcinoma confined to the mucosa or mucosa and submucosa of the gastric wall. The regional lymph nodes may or may not be involved. It usually occurs in the lesser curvature. The 5-year survival rate following resection is between 80 percent and 95 percent, and remains high even when lymph node metastases are present.
Also known as: EGC, early gastric cancer, superficial gastric cancer, superficial spreading gastric cancer, surface gastric cancer

Could a simple drug combo speed up stomach ulcer healing after cancer surgery?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether adding sucralfate (a protective coating agent) to standard esomeprazole (a stomach acid reducer) helps heal artificial ulcers created during endoscopic surgery for early stomach cancer or precancerous growths. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned…

Robot vs. laparoscope: which surgery is safer for early stomach cancer?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for early-stage stomach cancer: a newer robotic method using fewer incisions (reduced-port) and the standard laparoscopic method. About 538 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries. The main goal is…

New, less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer shows promise in small trial
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests a less invasive surgical approach for people with early gastric cancer who need additional treatment after an initial endoscopic removal. The procedure uses a special dye to guide removal of nearby lymph nodes, with or without removing a small part of the stomach…

New laser probe could spot stomach cancer earlier than biopsy
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether a special microscope on a thin probe (pCLE) can better detect early stomach cancer than the usual biopsy method. Researchers will review past cases from 169 patients who had both tests. The goal is to see which method is more sensitive and accurate, wh…

New model aims to catch stomach cancer earlier during endoscopy
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study will develop and test a diagnostic model to help doctors identify early gastric cancer during endoscopy. Researchers will use a special imaging technique called narrow band imaging (NBI) to examine suspicious lesions in 300 patients aged 40-80. The goal is to improve a…

Acupuncture needles aim to stop Chemo's nerve pain
Prevention Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether electroacupuncture (using mild electric pulses on needles) plus tiny thumbtack needles can prevent nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people with early-stage cancer. About 278 patients with breast, stomach, bowel, lung, or ovarian cancer will receive …

New camera mode may speed up gut cancer surgery
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a special imaging mode called RDI helps doctors remove early-stage cancers from the stomach, esophagus, or colon more quickly and safely than standard white-light endoscopy. About 158 adults with early cancers or precancerous lesions will be randomly assi…

New study tracks polyp return rates to improve Follow-Up care
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study looks at how often polyps in the stomach or colon grow back after being removed during a scope procedure. Researchers will follow about 2,000 adults for up to three years to track recurrence and identify risk factors like polyp size, lifestyle, and health history. The …
