Construction of a Nomogram Model for Predicting Peritoneal Dissemination in Gastric Cancer Based on Clinicopathologic Features and Preoperative Serum Tumor Markers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peritoneal dissemination (PD) is the most common mode of metastasis for advanced gastric cancer (GC) with poor prognosis. It is of great significance to accurately predict preoperative PD and develop optimal treatment strategies for GC patients. Our study assessed the diagnostic potential of serum tumor markers and clinicopathologic features, to improve the accuracy of predicting the presence of PD in GC patients.

Methods

In our study, 1264 patients with GC at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Wenzhou people's hospital from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 316 cases of PD and 948 cases without PD. All patients underwent enhanced CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before surgery and treatment. Clinicopathological features, in
