Robotic Total Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Proximal Gastric Cancer
- Conditions
- Stomach Neoplasms
- Interventions
- Procedure: Robotic Assisted No.10 Lymph Node Dissections
- Registration Number
- NCT03524287
- Lead Sponsor
- Fujian Medical University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical Efficacy of robotic assisted spleen-preserving No. 10 lymph node dissection for patients with locally advanced upper third gastric adenocarcinoma（cT2-4a, N-/+, M0）.
- Detailed Description
The incidence of No. 10 lymph node metastasis is high in advanced proximal gastric cancer, reported to range from 9.8%-20.9%, and the presence of No. 10 lymph node metastasis is closely related to survival. Therefore, in East Asia, D2 lymph node dissection of potentially curable locally advanced upper third gastric cancer including No. 10 lymph node is the standard surgical treatment.
Robotic surgery has been developed with the aim of improving surgical quality and overcoming the limitations of conventional laparoscopy in the performance of complex mini-invasive procedures. However, it remains a controversial international issue if it is safe and feasible to conduct robotic assisted spleen-preserving No. 10 lymph node dissection for advanced upper third gastric cancer. There is no prospective study to identify the results.
The study is through a prospective, open, single-arm study,to explore the clinical outcomes of the robotic assisted spleen-preserving No. 10 lymph node dissection in the treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma （cT2-4a, N-/+, M0）.

Group Intervention Description No.10 lymph node dissections Robotic Assisted No.10 Lymph Node Dissections Patients with locally advanced upper third gastric carcinoma will performed robotic assisted spleen-preserving No.10 lymph node dissections. After the surgery the patients will be treated with oxaliplatin or platinum-based chemotherapy.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method overall postoperative morbidity rates 30 days Refers to the incidence of early postoperative complications. The early postoperative complication are defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to first soft diet 30 days Time to first soft diet in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.
Time to first ambulation 30 days Time to first ambulation in hours is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.
Numbers of No.10 lymph node dissection 9 days Numbers of dissected No.10 lymph nodes
Time to first liquid diet 30 days Time to first liquid diet in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.
The variation of C-reactive protein Preoperative 3 days and postoperative 1, 3, and 5 days The values of C-reactive protein IN milligram/liter from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 are recorded to access the inflammatory and immune response.
3-year overall survival rate 36 months 3-year overall survival rate
Rates of splenectomy 1 days The Rates of splenectomy are defined as the incidence of splenectomy within operation.
Duration of postoperative hospital stay 30 days Duration of postoperative hospital stay in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.
3-year disease free survival rate 36 months 3-year disease free survival rate
Intraoperative morbidity rates 1 days The intraoperative postoperative morbidity rates are defined as the rates of event observed within operation.
3-year recurrence pattern 36 months Recurrence patterns are classified into five categories at the time of first diagnosis: locoregional, hematogenous, peritoneal, distant lymph node, and mixed type
Time to first flatus 30 days Time to first flatus in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.
The variation of album 3, 6, 9 and 12 months The variation of album in gram/liter on postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 months are used to access the postoperative nutritional status and quality of life.
Lymph node noncompliance rate 1 days Lymph node noncompliance was defined as the absence of lymph nodes that should have been excised from more than 1 lymph node station. Major lymph node noncompliance was defined as more than 2 intended lymph node stations that were not removed.
Rates of positive No.10 lymph node 9 days The Rates of positive No.10 lymph node are defined as the incidence of positive No.10 lymph node (divide number of positive No.10 lymph nodes by number of total No.10 lymph nodes)
The variation of weight 3, 6, 9 and 12 months The variation of weight on postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 months are used to access the postoperative nutritional status and quality of life.
Technical performance 1 days Technical performance were assessed by the Objective Structured Assessments of Technical Skills (OSATS) and the Generic Error Rating Tool.
The variation of white blood cell count Preoperative 3 days and postoperative 1, 3, and 5 days The values of white blood cell count from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 are recorded to access the inflammatory and immune response.
