Brief Summary

The iGreenGO Study aims to investigate whether the intraoperative application of NIR/ICG technology is associated with a change in the surgical conduct (CSC) during curative-intent gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in a cohort of Western patients affected by AGC. The preoperative clinical variables potentially associated with CSC will be also investigated

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria * Age ≥ 18 years old * Preoperative histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the upper, middle or lower part of the stomach. * Advanced disease (Staged cT2-T4a, N0-3;M0 according to 8th edition of the AJCC TNM Staging System) at diagnosis, in which resection can be safely achieved by distal or total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy via a minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) approach, either as first treatment or after neoadjuvant treatment * No distant metastasis, no direct invasion of pancreas, spleen or other organs nearby in the preoperative and intraoperative examinations * Written informed consent Exclusion criteria * Women during pregnancy or breast-feeding * History of previous upper abdominal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be allowed) * History of previous gastrectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection * History of allergy to iodine agents * Cancer located at the esophago-gastric junction (Siewert I, II, III tumors 29) * Patients candidates to transthoracic esophagectomy, transhiatal extended gastrectomy or proximal gastrectomy * History of previous neoadjuvant chemotherapy (except perioperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer) or radiotherapy
