Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

Laparoscopic gastrectomy became a good option for early gastric cancer. Surgical trend is gradually changed to totally laparoscopic gastrectomy from laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy requiring mini-laparotomy. Various types of intracorporeal anastomosis have been introduced for esophagojejunostomy during total gastrectomy. We invented a novel anastomosis method using linear stapler for total gastrectomy. Three procedures (Jejunal resection, esophageal resection and closure of common entry hole after anastomosis) was performed with only one stapler. Therefore, the novel method is simple and fast. Also, this new technique is better economically than previously introduced anastomosis using linear stapler because lesser number of stapler is required. We want to demonstrate the feasibility of novel intracorporeal anastomosis method during laparoscopic total gastrectomy.

The present randomized study is designed to compare the quality of life between the patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer, and therefore to evaluate the superiority of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy to laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy.

Metastatic gastric cancer patients who failed standard treatment will be enrolled in this study. After consent form, patient-derived cancer cell will be collected and tested with 3 kinds of drugs (sunitinib, gefitinib, imatinib). Drug sensitivity prediction software (IRCR-DReSS) will present level of sensitivity and patients will be treated with sensitive drugs. Patients will be evaluated every 6 weeks.

This multi-institutional retrospective cohort study aimed to describe and analyze the overall clinical characteristics, therapeutic status and prognosis pattern of gastric cancer liver metastasis (GCLM) in China.

There are few reports on a dual dye and isotope approach using laparoscopy in gastric cancer sentinel node mapping. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic limited gastrectomy with sentinel basin(SB) dissection for gastric cancer using simultaneous indocyanine green (ICG) and 99mTc-antimony sulfur colloid (ASC) injections.

That panitumumab in combination with Epirubicin, Cisplatin and Capecitabine (ECX) will safely decrease the frequency of pT3/T4 below that of ECX alone in subjects with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach and gastroesophageal junction.

This study will determine the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy and chemo-radiotherapy for patients with surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the stomach and gastro-esophageal junction.

The purpose of this study is: To observe the feasibility of biweekly oxaliplatin and infusional 5-fluorouracil (FU)/Leucovorin (LV) in patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who have prior exposure to taxane, fluoropyrimidine, and cisplatin To determine the activity of this combination regimen. To evaluate the treatment-related toxicities.

The patients will be divided into two groups: in the first group the patient will be submitted to prophylactic cholecystectomy during standard surgery for curable gastric cancer (subtotal or total gastrectomy), while in the second group will be submitted to standard gastric surgery only.

Study objectives: To determine Ro resection rate of Docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil combination for the treatment of neoadjuvant gastric carcinoma.
