Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of bile reflux and gastric stasis according the reconstruction methods after distal subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer, and to find out the proper method. We collect ninety patients who undergo distal gastrectomy for gastric cancers for this study from 5 institutions and randomly divide into 3 groups according to reconstruction methods: 1) Billroth-II (B-II), 2) Roux en Y gastrojejunostomy (RY-GJ) and 3) uncut Roux en Y gastrojejunostomy (uncut RY-GJ).
To assess the response rate of huC242-DM4 given as an intravenous infusion to patients with metastatic or locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
This phase II trial will evaluate, in first line advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, the efficacy and tolerance of another oxaliplatin, 5FU bolus combination already tested in advanced colorectal cancer
This phase II trial is studying how well saracatinib works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The aim of this study is to determine whether early oral feeding after curative resection for gastric cancer would be tolerable and give an effect on the recovery.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy works in treating patients with locoregionally advanced cancer of the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, or stomach.
RATIONALE: Imatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving imatinib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of imatinib when given together with capecitabine and cisplatin in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic stomach cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out how you feel about the quality of your life after having had surgery to remove your stomach tumor. Some patients continue to experience different problems after stomach surgery, even when the surgery was more than three years ago. The purpose of this study is to find out the specific things that may continue to affect patients' quality of life after a major operation.
Recently, the preventive effect of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication treatment on the incidence of gastric cancer has been reported. By Hp eradication treatment being performed for Hp-infected people in Iijima town, we will evaluate whether the incidence of gastric cancer and/or the medical care cost can be reduced as compared with those in the previous years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of sorafenib as second line treatment in patients with Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (A/MGC).
