Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two surgical techniques used to reconnect the digestive tract after partial stomach removal (distal gastrectomy) for gastric cancer — Billroth-II Modified vs. Roux-en-Y — to see which leads to better outcomes and quality of life. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with gastric (stomach) cancer - You are scheduled for a curative partial gastrectomy (removal of part of the stomach) - Your cancer is stage cT1 to cT4a with no distant metastases - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You have provided written informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - Your surgical risk is very high (ASA score above 4) - You have another active cancer or a history of a different cancer - You have had stomach surgery before - You need emergency surgery for complications like bleeding or perforation Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
