About this study

Gastric cancer remains the second most common cancer worldwide.Although the prognosis is poor for majority of patients , long term survival is achievable in patients in whom surgical resection is possible.

However the results of surgery are generally disapointing in most large series.The exception to this appears to be Japan and far east where a standardized approach to surgery is undertaken with low morbidity and mortality.The extent of surgery and particularly the development of systematic lymphadenectomy(D2)has been credited in Japan for the improved outcome in patients with gastric cancer.

Hence for comparing the difference between D1 and D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer in terms of overall survival,disease free survival and loco regional recurrence and also post operative morbidity and mortality following both these procedures,this study has been undertaken.

In D1 lymphadenectomy, only those lymph nodes which are adjacent to the part of stomach being resected will be removed.In D2 lymphadenectomy other lymph nodes draining the stomach will also be removed according to internationally accepted guidelines and also include resection of greater omentum along with anterior layer of transverse mesocolon and lesser omentum upto its attachment to hepatoduodenal ligament.

Currently both these procedures are widely practised worldwide and there is no definite evidence showing the superiority of one procedure over the other.Neither is any of these procedures experimental.

We are doing this trial to see whether one of these procedures is superior to the other.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing D1 or D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer patients in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Tata Memorial Hospital at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dr Parul J Shukla, M.S.,FRCS (+912224177172, pjshukla@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

5 year overall survival. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2007.
