About this study

Official title: Prospective, Observational, Multicenter Study on Minimally Invasive Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: Robotic, Laparoscopic and Open Surgery Compared on Operative and Follow-up Outcomes

The overall purpose is to develop and maintain a multi-institutional database comprising of information regarding surgical, clinical and oncological features of patients that will be treated for gastric cancer with robotic, laparoscopic or open approaches and subsequent follow-up.

The main objective is to compare the three surgical arms on surgical and clinical outcomes, as well as on the oncological follow-up.

Read the detailed description

A review of the scientific literature, which was recently published by the IMIGASTRIC study group, aimed to perform a more complete analysis of the current situation regarding performing minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer. Significant limitations were found in the analyzed studies, including:

  • Small samples of patients, mostly low-quality comparative studies
  • Selection bias in the comparison groups (e.g. stage, extent of lymphadenectomy)
  • Absence of subgroup analysis in significant research fields
  • Lack of information on the surgical techniques adopted

A large prospective multicenter registry could thus be the optimal way to clarify the role of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer and permit the evaluation of its short and long-term effects. A working basis for analyzing outcomes of interest and obtaining directions for guidelines and future study developments can also be created. The following would be the main advantages of a large prospective multicenter registry:

  • Achieving a large sample of patients
  • Collecting multiple variables, allowing for the making of a comprehensive statistical report
  • Standardizing the methodology to be adopted, thus increasing accuracy
  • Bringing together the experiences of both East and West to discover shared points A prospective registry can become a powerful tool that can guide research in this field to new developments and pave the way for other investigational opportunities.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Robotic GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Minimally invasive surgical approach, related to the availability of a robotic surgical system (eg Da Vinci surgical system), that allows a surgeon to perform surgery through a console and dedicated devices.

  • Laparoscopic GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Minimally invasive surgical approach performed through traditional laparoscopy.

    subjects alive at the planned endpoint

    Measured: 3 year after surgery

  6. Rate of patients alive

    subjects alive at the planned endpoint

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean post-operative hospital stay

    hospital stay of the patients after surgery

  2. Rate of complications after discharge

    any surgical related event after patient's discharge
