Summary

This multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial aims to compare the safety and oncological effectiveness of proximal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy in patients with locally advanced Siewert type II-III gastroesophageal junction cancer. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to undergo either proximal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy using open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgical approaches according to clinical suitability. The primary outcome of the study is 3-year disease-free survival. Secondary outcomes include postoperative mortality, postoperative complications, and the number of metastatic lymph nodes retrieved. Patients will be followed for up to five years after surgery to evaluate long-term oncological outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Proximal Gastrectomy

Proximal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy involving resection of the proximal stomach and gastroesophageal junction. Reconstruction will be performed using esophagogastric or esophagojejunal anastomosis according to surgeon preference. The procedure may be performed via open, laparoscopic, or robotic approach depending on patient suitability.

PROCEDURE

Total Gastrectomy

Total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy involving complete removal of the stomach followed by esophagojejunal reconstruction. The surgical approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) will be selected according to patient suitability and surgeon preference.
