Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who meet specific staging and health criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe mental disorders, previous upper abdominal surgeries, or other malignant diseases may not benefit from this study.

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 evaluates the clinical outcomes of using indocyanine green tracer during laparoscopic gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy beyond D2 for patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. The focus is on determining whether this approach improves clinical efficacy compared to traditional methods. Patients aged 18 to 75 with specific cancer staging criteria will be included, and the study will assess the effectiveness of the surgical intervention in a controlled setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance surgical outcomes and improve survival rates for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of indocyanine green tracer in surgical oncology is gaining interest, this specific application in advanced gastric cancer is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
