Which treatment for early stomach cancer offers the best Long-Term survival?
NCT ID NCT07747688
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at the medical records of about 5,000 people in China treated for early gastric cancer. It compares different treatment approaches—such as endoscopic removal, laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, or a combination—to see how they affect long-term survival and the chance of the cancer coming back. The goal is to identify which factors most influence outcomes and to provide evidence that helps guide more personalized treatment decisions for early stomach cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- This study could help doctors choose the best treatment for early gastric cancer by comparing long-term outcomes of different surgical and endoscopic approaches.
- What could go wrong
- Because it is a retrospective observational study, it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient selection and changes in treatment over time.

Who is studied
The study population will be derived from the information database of the National Clinical Research Center for Digestive Diseases at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University. This retrospective cohort will include approximately 5000 patients who were diagnosed with early gastric cancer. All patients included in the database during this period who meet the eligibility criteria will be consecutively enrolled. The source population consists of patients who visited Beijing Friendship Hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. The database contains comprehensive clinicopathological data, treatment details, and longitudinal follow-up information for all enrolled patients. Beijing Friendship Hospital is a large tertiary referral center in China serving a broad geographic catchment area, and the study population is expected to reflect a diverse range of patient demographics and clinical presentations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * patients aged between 18 and 90 years; * preoperative endoscopic biopsy-confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma; * clinical stage early gastric (cT1NxM0) cancer according to the AJCC 8th edition TNM staging system; * patients who have signed a broad informed consent. * Received primary treatment (including endoscopic resection, laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, or combined laparoscopic-endoscopic approach) at Beijing Friendship Hospital. Exclusion Criteria: * pregnant or breastfeeding women; * Preoperative or intraoperative diagnosis remained indeterminate due to insufficient pathological or imaging evidence, such that the patient could not be clearly classified as early gastric cancer prior to treatment; * Critical clinical data were severely incomplete or missing; * Completely lost to follow-up with no available information to confirm survival status.
