Monitoring patients with precancerous stomach lesions
Official title: Surveillance Strategies of Patients With Precancerous Conditions and Lesions in the Stomach
Run by University of Latvia · NCT03250091 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to find out how to better monitor people with precancerous stomach lesions to see who is at risk of developing gastric cancer and when they should come back for check-ups.

✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients undergoing upper endoscopy who are motivated to participate and can provide signed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known gastric cancer or those unwilling or unable to cooperate will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This project focuses on identifying patients with precancerous lesions in the stomach to determine their risk of progressing to gastric cancer. It aims to stratify patients based on their risk levels and establish appropriate follow-up intervals for those at high risk. By implementing targeted endoscopic surveillance, the study seeks to improve early detection and management of gastric cancer, particularly in Latvia, where the incidence is high and late-stage diagnosis is common. The methodology includes upper endoscopy, biopsies, and sampling of plasma, serum, and fecal matter.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to earlier detection and better management of gastric cancer, potentially reducing mortality rates.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with targeted surveillance strategies for gastric cancer, making this approach promising.
