Spleen-Preserving No. 10 Lymph Node Dissection in Gastric Cancer

August 7, 2019 updated by: Jian Suo

Study on Laparoscopic No. 10 Lymph Node Dissection With Preservation of Spleen for Advanced Middle or Upper Third Gastric Cancer

This study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of two kinds of radical gastrectomy for patients with proximal gastric cancer. One is laparoscopic D2 radical total gastrectomy combined with spleen-preserving No.10 lymph node dissection , another one is laparoscopic D2 radical total gastrectomy without clearing the No. 10 lymph nodes of the spleen. We explore the effect of the two procedures on the survival of patients, as well as the surgical complications associated with the two procedures, the number of lymph node dissection, the operation time and the amount of intraoperative blood loss. Furthermore, we also want to discuss the application value of laparoscopic lymph node dissection for spleen preservation in radical gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: D2 Lymphadenectomy including No. 10
lymphadenectomy including spleen-preserving No. 10 lymph node dissection will be performed for the treatment of patients assigned to this group
Procedure: D2 Lymphadenectomy including No. 10
After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, Laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy including spleen-Preserving No. 10 Lymph Node Dissection will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience and anastomotic procedure is performed extracorporeally using a mini-laparotomy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures
