Global Consensus on Managing Gastric Cancer Peritoneal Metastasis

Experts established clear guidelines for handling gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis, crucial for improving patient outcomes.

  • Consensus reached on 13 statements regarding diagnosis and treatment, with 75-100% agreement among 42 experts.
