This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing three different surgical techniques for reconstructing the digestive system after removing part of the stomach due to cancer. All three approaches involve rerouting the intestines, but in slightly different ways. The researchers want to learn which method works best at helping people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control while successfully treating their gastric cancer.
People with both stomach cancer and type 2 diabetes face a unique challenge: the surgery needed to treat cancer might also affect their diabetes. Some earlier research suggests that certain surgical reconstruction methods may improve blood sugar control more than others, but doctors don't have clear evidence about which approach is truly best.

If you enroll, you will undergo surgery to remove the lower part of your stomach and have your intestines reconstructed using one of the three methods being tested — assigned randomly to ensure fair comparison. After surgery, you will attend follow-up visits where doctors will monitor your healing, blood sugar levels, and overall health. The study team will track how well your diabetes is controlled and compare outcomes across the three surgical groups over time.
