Risk factors associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer in staging laparoscopy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal indications of staging laparoscopy in gastric cancer to detect peritoneal carcinomatosis are still controversial. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the relevance of the preoperative factors with peritoneal carcinomatosis to explore the indications of staging laparoscopy.

Materials and methods

Systematic searches were conducted using Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library in December 2021. On the basis of calculating the odds ratio (OR) of each factor, we quantified the association between the risk factors and peritoneal carcinomatosis such as clinical T/N stage, Borrmann type, and tumor markers, using meta-analysis with a random-effects model.

Results

A total of 21 case-control studies and one cohort study were
