Evaluating the impact of surgery on survival in advanced gastric cancer patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the long-term effects of surgical intervention in patients with metastatic gastric cancer who are deemed suitable for surgery by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). Patients will undergo a thorough evaluation of their risks and benefits before making a decision through shared-decision making (SDM). Based on their choices, participants will be categorized into surgery and non-surgery groups to analyze survival outcomes. The study focuses on understanding whether surgical treatment can extend survival time in this patient population.
