Stomach cancer surgery study maps hidden spread
NCT ID NCT06736847
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes 200 people with stomach cancer who are having a specific type of surgery called distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision. The goal is to check how often cancer has spread to lymph nodes and tumor deposits in the back stomach lining. This is an observational study, meaning it only collects information from the surgery, not testing a new drug or treatment.
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 successful, this could help doctors better understand how gastric cancer spreads, potentially leading to more precise surgeries in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It only looks at surgical samples, so it won't directly improve outcomes for participants. Results may not apply to all gastric cancer patients.
