New risk score could help stomach cancer patients avoid unnecessary surgery
NCT ID NCT06339307
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a risk scoring model that predicts whether stomach cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes before surgery. Researchers looked at data from 120 patients who had their stomach cancer removed. The goal was to see if the model could help doctors make better treatment decisions.
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
- If the model proves accurate, it could help doctors better plan surgery and avoid unnecessary procedures for gastric cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed validation study, not a treatment trial. The model may not be accurate enough for all patients or may not change outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Primary gastric adenocarcinoma; 2. Curative surgery (with R0 resection, excluding palliative surgery and cases with distant metastasis). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with autoimmune diseases, inflammation, or hematological disorders; 2. Patients with a history of or concurrent other cancers; 3. Presence of active infection and inflammation (based on WBC count, patients with count of 10×10\^9 or higher should be evaluated through medical record examination for the presence of infection); 4. Active bleeding (as determined by endoscopic ultrasound and HGB ≤ 90); 5. Post neoadjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy; 6. History of blood transfusion, corticosteroid use, or leukocyte-stimulating medications within the past month prior to blood draw; 7. Incomplete clinical and pathological data.
