Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with resectable remnant gastric cancer and no distant metastasis.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of severe mental disorders, previous upper abdominal surgeries, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of using Indocyanine Green (ICG) Tracer during laparoscopic gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for patients with remnant gastric cancer. The study compares outcomes between patients who receive ICG injections and those who do not, aiming to improve the identification of positive lymph nodes. By analyzing over 300 cases, the trial seeks to establish ICG as a reliable, non-radiative method for guiding surgical procedures in this context.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance surgical precision and outcomes for patients with remnant gastric cancer.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of ICG in various surgical contexts has shown promise, this specific application in remnant gastric cancer is novel and untested.
