Trial summary

Incidence of positive surgical margins after curative gastrectomy ranges from 1% to 20%. It has been suggested that positive surgical margins is an adverse prognosis factor, with a higher local recurrence and worse overall survival (OS). However, the management of these patients remains unclear. Read more about this study

What participants receive

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

  • ObservationOther

    The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of positive margins on the tumour's recurrence and OS after gastrectomy for GC. The secondary outcome was to analyse the possible confounding factors that could affect the recurrence and OS after gastrectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Neoplasms, run by Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

evaluate the influence of positive margins on the tumour's recurrence and OS after gastrectomy for GC (time frame: 8 years). 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?
