Brief Summary:

The overall purpose is to develop and maintain a multi-institutional database comprising of information regarding surgical, clinical and oncological features of patients that will be treated for gastric cancer with robotic, laparoscopic or open approaches and subsequent follow-up.

The main objective is to compare the three surgical arms on surgical and clinical outcomes, as well as on the oncological follow-up.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Gastric Cancer Procedure: Robotic Gastrectomy Procedure: Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

Detailed Description:

A review of the scientific literature, which was recently published by the IMIGASTRIC study group, aimed to perform a more complete analysis of the current situation regarding performing minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer. Significant limitations were found in the analyzed studies, including:

  • Small samples of patients, mostly low-quality comparative studies
  • Selection bias in the comparison groups (e.g. stage, extent of lymphadenectomy)
  • Absence of subgroup analysis in significant research fields
  • Lack of information on the surgical techniques adopted

A large prospective multicenter registry could thus be the optimal way to clarify the role of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer and permit the evaluation of its short and long-term effects. A working basis for analyzing outcomes of interest and obtaining directions for guidelines and future study developments can also be created. The following would be the main advantages of a large prospective multicenter registry:

  • Achieving a large sample of patients
  • Collecting multiple variables, allowing for the making of a comprehensive statistical report
  • Standardizing the methodology to be adopted, thus increasing accuracy
  • Bringing together the experiences of both East and West to discover shared points A prospective registry can become a powerful tool that can guide research in this field to new developments and pave the way for other investigational opportunities.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Robotic Gastrectomy
Patients who will be treated for gastric cancer with the assistance of the robotic surgical system
Procedure: Robotic Gastrectomy
Minimally invasive surgical approach, related to the availability of a robotic surgical system (eg Da Vinci surgical system), that allows a surgeon to perform surgery through a console and dedicated devices.

Laparoscopic Gastrectomy
Patients who will be treated for gastric cancer through laparoscopic devices.
Procedure: Laparoscopic Gastrectomy
Minimally invasive surgical approach performed through traditional laparoscopy.

Open Gastrectomy
Patients who will be treated for gastric cancer with traditional open surgery.



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of patients with intraoperative adverse events [ Time Frame: During surgery ]
    events other than the normal course of the surgery

  2. Mean of retrieved lymph nodes [ Time Frame: Within 30 days after surgery ]
    Count of retrieved lymph nodes at the histopathological examination of the surgical specimen

  3. Rate of patients alive [ Time Frame: 1 year after surgery ]
    subjects alive at the planned endpoint

  4. Rate of patients alive [ Time Frame: 2 year after surgery ]
    subjects alive at the planned endpoint

  5. Rate of patients alive [ Time Frame: 3 year after surgery ]
    subjects alive at the planned endpoint

  6. Rate of patients alive [ Time Frame: 4 year after surgery ]
    subjects alive at the planned endpoint

  7. Rate of patients alive [ Time Frame: 5 year after surgery ]
    subjects alive at the planned endpoint


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean post-operative hospital stay [ Time Frame: from the day after surgery to patient discharge, assessed up to 90 days ]
    hospital stay of the patients after surgery

  2. Rate of complications after discharge [ Time Frame: 5 year after surgery ]
    any surgical related event after patient's discharge
