Comparison Between Double Tract Anastomosis and Esophagogastrostomy After Radical Proximal Gastrectomy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
GastroEsophageal Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03613142
Lead Sponsor
Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute
Brief Summary

The patients with upper gastric cancer (cT1N0M0) or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (diameter less than 4 cm) will be enrolled into this study. Each of these patients will undergo radical proximal gastrectomy and be randomly allocated into one of the two groups, double tract anastomosis group or esophagogastrostomy group. The following data will be collected to compare the difference between the two reconstruction methods: the rate of reflux esophagitis, postoperative quality of life, economic expenditure, the safety of operation, postoperative recovery, postoperative nutrition status and oncological effect. Through the comprehensive analysis, the result of this study will elucidate the best of the reconstruction method after proximal gastrectomy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of reflux esophagitis after operation12 months

The rate of reflux esophagitis after operation will be assessed by gastrointestinal endoscopy with Los Angeles (LA) classification. the degree of reflux esophagitis will be classified as N, A, B, C or D level, and latter levels represent a more severe reflux esophagitis.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
postoperative quality of life12months

Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) - STO22 questionnaire, the total score ranges from 22 to 88, and higher values represent a worse outcome.
