Cytoreduction/HIPEC in Gastric Cancer: Who benefits, and when to consider it?
Gastric adenocarcinoma commonly spreads through carcinomatosis or peritoneal metastases (PM). This was often discovered at the time of attempted curative gastric resection, given the poor ability of preoperative staging CT scans to detect the presence and extent of PM. In patients where visible PMs are absent, diagnostic laparoscopy with peritoneal lavage and cytology has been shown to be an effective method of noting free intraperitoneal tumor cells. This is also defined as M1 disease and is generally associated with T3 or T4 primary gastric cancers.

Laparoscopic surgery appears as a favorable approach, given the previously reported decrease in postoperative pain, pulmonary complications, and hospital lengths of stay. The reluctance to widely adopt this technique centers on concerns about its oncologic completeness and the complexity of the procedure.
