Tumor deposits at the fusion of the right and left gastric mesenteries after proximal gastrectomy
Official title: Tumor Deposit at the Fusion Site of the Right Gastric Mesentery and Left Gastric Mesentery in the Patients With Gastric Cancer Who Received Proximal Gastrectomy With D2 Lymphadenectomy Plus Complete Mesogastric Excision for Gastric Cancer: A Prospective Observational Study
Run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University · NCT06728891 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We will see if tumor tissue is present at the fusion site between the right and left gastric mesenteries in adults having proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 18–85 years old with primary gastric adenocarcinoma staged cT2–4aN0–3M0 who are planned for proximal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision, have ASA class I–III, BMI ≤30 kg/m2, and have not received neoadjuvant therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic disease (cT4b/M1), prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy, previous upper abdominal surgery, other active malignancies, BMI >30 kg/m2, or those who refuse surgery are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This observational, single-center study will examine surgical specimens from adults with primary gastric adenocarcinoma who undergo proximal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision. Investigators will inspect the fusion site between the right and left gastric mesenteries and document any tumor deposits using standard pathological methods. Eligible patients are clinical stage cT2–4aN0–3M0, aged 18–85, ASA class I–III, without prior neoadjuvant therapy or previous upper abdominal surgery. The study aims to generate evidence on whether current dissection patterns may leave residual tumor at the mesenteric fusion and to inform standardized lymph node clearance recommendations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If tumor deposits are identified at the fusion site, the findings could prompt modifications to surgical lymph node clearance and potentially reduce local recurrence after proximal gastrectomy.
How similar studies have gone: Work on complete mesogastric excision and extended lymphadenectomy exists, but direct study of tumor deposits at the right–left gastric mesenteric fusion site is limited and relatively novel.
