Comparison of Laparoscopic Versus Open Total Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: a Prospective Randomized Control Trial

Sponsor

University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City (UMC)

Enrollment

210 participants

Start Date

Aug 2, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Gastric Cancer

Summary

Evidence of implementation of laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) remains inadequate. This study aimed to compare short- and mid-term outcomes of LTG versus open total gastrectomy (OTG) for cT2-4a GC.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial compares laparoscopic (minimally invasive, keyhole) total stomach removal to traditional open surgery for people with locally advanced stomach cancer, to see if the minimally invasive approach is equally safe and effective. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with stomach (gastric) cancer confirmed by biopsy - Your cancer requires removal of the entire stomach - You are between 18 and 80 years old - Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no metastasis) - Your overall health is good enough for surgery (ASA score 3 or below) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have or previously had another type of cancer - Your cancer has spread to large lymph nodes near the aorta (major blood vessel) - Your cancer has grown into the food pipe (esophagus), requiring its removal - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
