Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Stomach Neoplasms, a narrower term within Digestive System Diseases.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This study proposes to establish a CT radiomics-based prediction model for identifying metastasis of each station lymph nodes in gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multi-center trial conducted at 4 high-volume gastric cancer centers in China (Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University; Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center; First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University; The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University) designed to determine the predicted performance of radiomics-based prediction model for identifying metastasis of each station lymph nodes by enhanced CT for preoperative noninvasive assessment of the lymph node status in patients with gastric cancer. The study includes the construction of CT radiomics-based prediction model and the validation of the prediction model.

Study population

pathologically proven gastric cancer patients who receive preoperative CT and surgical resection in these hospitals.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age >18 years;
  • Patients providing written ;
  • proven gastric cancer scheduled to preoperative enhanced abdomen CT and undergo gastrectomy with type D2 lymphadenectomy;
  • Has undergone > 64 multi-detector row CT within 14 days prior to surgical resection; .No receipt of preoperative therapy (radiotherapy, chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Preoperative therapy (radiotherapy, chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy);
  • Failed to receive preoperative enhanced abdomen CT or undergo gastrectomy with type D2 lymphadenectomy;
  • Inavailable pathological results for local lymph node status;
  • Inquality of CT images for feature extraction; .Patient quit.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathological lymph node status of every station

    Pathological lymph node status of each station is defined as lymph node metastasis exist or not

    Time frame: Pathologic evaluation will be performed for each patient within 1 week after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Survival time

    Disease-free survival and overall survival

    Time frame: Follow-up from the date of surgery to the date of death.

  2. Lymph node stage (N stage)

    Pathological lymph node stage after surgery (N0 stage: no lymph node metastassis; N1 stage: 1-2 lymph node metastasis; N2 stage: 3-6 lymph node metastasis; N3a stage: 7-15 lymph node metastasis;N3b stage: \>15 lymph node metastassis)

    Time frame: Pathologic evaluation will be performed for each patient within 1 week after surgery

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Aug 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2018, 12 months after the start.

Of 322 non-industry observational studies under Stomach Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 57 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 171. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 364 studies reached it within 54 months; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 119.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 5, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
