Blood test may predict stomach cancer comeback before scans do
NCT ID NCT06893133
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a personalized blood test that looks for tumor DNA can detect stomach cancer recurrence earlier than standard imaging. About 110 patients who had chemotherapy and surgery for stage II-III stomach cancer will give blood samples over time. The goal is to see how accurate the test is at predicting cancer return and how much earlier it can warn patients compared to CT scans.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients have received neoadjuvant therapy and radical resection (R0). 2. Pathologically confirmed ypTNM stage II-III gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. 3. Patients must be able to provide sufficient fresh tissue/biopsies or minimum 5-10 FFPE sections for NGS-WES analysis. 4. Patients must be able to follow the study visit schedule and be willing to cooperate with the study by providing blood samples at the indicated time point. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who could not receive enhanced CT, gastroscopy and other routine review after surgery. 2. Patients who could not perform WES or ctDNA-MRD detection for various reasons after surgery. 3. Other cases considered unsuitable for inclusion by researchers.
