Advanced Gastric Cancer, Laparoscopic Gastrectomy
Conditions
Brief summary
Although laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is widely used for the treatment of early gastric cancer, there have been few reports of the efficacy of LAG in the management of advanced gastric cancer(AGC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes and oncologic safety of laparoscopic gastrectomy for AGC.
Detailed description
Prospective phase II clinical trial to evaluate technical and oncological safety of LG for AGC LG procedure for AGC: D2 lymphadenectomy Total omentectomy for tumor with serosa exposure under laparoscopic exploration Primary end point: 3 year disease free survival secondary end point: postoperative outcomes, morbidity and mortality, 3,5 and 7 year overall survival, Quality of life, recurrence pattern Study duration: 7 years(enrollment: 4year, follow-up: 3year)
Interventions
Operative procedure: laparoscopic gastrectomy(D2 lymphadenectomy according to JGCA guideline and total omentectomy for tumor with serosa exposure)
