About this study

Official title: Lymph Node Metastasis and Tumor Deposit in the Short Gastric Mesentery Following Total Gastrectomy With D2 Lymphadenectomy Plus Complete Mesogastric Excision for Gastric Cancer: A Prospective Observational Study

This study aims to explore lymph node metastasis in the short gastric mesentery following total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision, providing evidence-based medicine for standardizing lymph node dissection in gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

According to the 6th edition of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines; total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy includes groups No.1 to No.7, No.8a, No.9, No.11p, No.11d, and No.12a. The No.4sa group lymph nodes are defined as the lymph nodes along the short gastric vessel, No.10 group lymph nodes are defined as the lymph nodes at the splenic hilum including the lymph nodes at the roots of the short gastric arteries. In routine total gastrectomy with D2 combined with CME surgery, the standard practice involves resection of the short gastric mesentery (No.4sa group and No. 10 group). There are typically 3-4 short gastric arteries in the human body, further investigation is required to determine the lymph node metastasis rates in each short gastric mesentery. Patients undergoing total gastrectomy with D2 combined with CME will have their short gastric mesenteries anatomically separated for examination, and this aims to analyze the positive rate of lymph nodes in the short gastric mesentery and investigate the correlation between tumor location, staging, and lymph node metastasis in the short gastric mesentery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancers, run by Jichao Qin at 1 site in China.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Tao Wang, Ph.d (+86-197-068-25286, 15002740874@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of lymph node metastasis and tumor deposit in the short gastric mesentery (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 2 Sep 2025.
