Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The aim of this study is to compare survival rates and to observe quality of life and nutritional status according to follow-up period in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for stage 2 or 3 gastric cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The hypothesis of this study is that the survival rates would be different between the 3 months and 6 months follow-up groups. The investigators expected survival differences of 6% and the anticipated 3-year overall survival is 83% in the 6 months follow-up group based on the previous 3 phase clinical trial. On the basis of this hypothesis, the sample size was calculated as 886 patients.

Patients who were diagnosed as stage 2 or 3 gastric cancer after gastrectomy will be assigned to 3 months or 6 months follow-up group. The planned examinations including blood test, X-ray , CT, endoscopy, and nutritional markers will be performed according to the protocol and each patients will be followed up for 3 years after enrollment.

The primary endpoint is 3 year overall survival and secondary endpoints are other survivals such as 3-year disease-free survival and gastric cancer specific survival, quality of life, and nutritional parameters.
