ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding the outcomes of surgery for gastric cancer, specifically looking at the complications and risks that patients may face after their surgery. Gastric cancer is a serious condition, and surgery is currently the best option for a cure. However, the results of surgery can vary widely depending on where the procedure is performed. The researchers want to study how many patients experience complications and deaths within 90 days after surgery across different hospitals in Russia. This information will help improve future treatment guidelines.

To participate in this trial, patients should be adults aged 18 or older who have been diagnosed with primary gastric cancer and are scheduled for elective surgery with the aim of curing their cancer. Unfortunately, patients with certain other types of cancer or those needing emergency surgery won't be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to be closely monitored after your surgery to track any complications and to provide valuable information that could help improve care for future patients.
