Correlation of Morphological Appearance of Peritoneal Lesions at Laparotomy and Disease at Pathological Assessment in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery for Peritoneal Malignancy: Results of Phase I of the PRECINCT Study in 707 Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The PRECINCT (Pattern of peritoneal dissemination and REsponse to systemic Chemotherapy IN Common and uncommon peritoneal Tumors) is a prospective, multicenter, observational study. This report from phase I of PRECINCT outlines variations in recording the surgical peritoneal cancer index (sPCI) at experienced peritoneal malignancy centers and the incidence of pathologically confirmed disease in morphologically different peritoneal lesions (PL).

Methods

The sPCI was recorded in a prespecified format that included the morphological appearance of PL. Six prespecified morphological terms were provided. The surgical and pathological findings were compared.

Results

From September 2020 to December 2021, 707 patients were enrolled at 10 centers. The morphological d
