About this study

A prospective single-arm study designed to further evaluate laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy for advanced Gastric Cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be performed, to evaluate the safety, feasibility, long-term and oncological outcomes. The evaluation parameters are perioperative mobility and mortality, perioperative clinical efficacy, postoperative life quality, immune function and 3-year survival and recurrence rates.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • History of previous gastrectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection
  • History of other malignant disease within past five years
  • History of unstable angina or myocardial infarction within past six months
  • History of cerebrovascular accident within past six months

Treatment and study plan

Laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy

Procedure

After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, Laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy will be performed with curative treated intent.The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience and anastomotic procedure is performed extracorporeally using a mini-laparotomy

Primary outcomes
