The prognostic value of peritoneal metastases in patients with gastric cancer: a nationwide population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The peritoneum is a common metastatic site in gastric cancer. The prognosis of synchronous peritoneal metastases compared to other metastatic sites in gastric cancer remains understudied. This study aims to evaluate the impact of peritoneal metastases on survival in patients with metastatic gastric cancer.

Methods

Patients with gastric cancer and synchronous metastases between 2015 and 2020 were identified from the nationwide Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients were categorized based on the site of metastases. Median overall survival (OS) was calculated for each metastatic site group. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between patient, tumour, and treatment characteristics, including the impact of systemic therapy, o
