Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) has a predilection to metastasize to the peritoneum, denoting a poor prognosis. Treatment strategies available for advanced GC have significantly evolved over time and can be categorized into systemic, regional, and surgical. Although systemic therapies have been the mainstay for the treatment of advanced GC, their ability in achieving long-term survival in patients with peritoneal involvement is modest at best. This article describes advances in combined modality treatment of peritoneal metastases, specifically with an emphasis on peritoneal-directed therapies.Entities:
