Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Surgical Approaches to Gastric Cancer Invading the Esophagus (JCOG9502)

February 2, 2009 updated by: Japan Clinical Oncology Group
To compare left thoraco-abdominal approach with abdominal and transhiatal approach to cardia or subcardia cancer

Study Overview

Detailed Description

For gastric cancers with esophageal invasion (Siewert type II and III), thoraco-abdominal approach has shown better survival results than abdominal approach in retrospective analyses. However, patients having mediastinal nodal metastasis have poor prognosis and the benefit of thoraco-abdominal approach is still controversial. We evaluated the two approaches in a prospective randomized trial.
