Summary
This study compares symptoms, especially appetite, in patients who have one of two types of minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery: removing only the upper part of the stomach or the whole stomach. Researchers will track how patients feel using a simple questionnaire. The goal is to find out which surgery leads to a better quality of life for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
