New guidelines for managing gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis (gcpm) offer surgeons a pathway to improve patient outcomes.

• Experts developed 13 consensus statements on diagnosis and treatment, with 75-100% agreement among a global panel.
• A broader survey yielded 12 out of 13 consensus among 63 experts, but only 52% agreed on systemic treatment best practices.

This collaborative effort aims to standardize care and pinpoint critical research areas to enhance surgical decision-making.
