The study identified key risk factors for peritoneal recurrence (PR) in gastric cancer, involving 622 patients post-gastrectomy. Among these, 64 experienced PR with significantly poorer survival rates compared to those with recurrence in other sites. A newly developed risk-scoring model, based on eight variables, demonstrated 81% accuracy in predicting PR. Notably, 82.8% of patients with PR were correctly classified as high risk, underscoring the model’s potential to enhance patient stratification and treatment strategies.
