Abstract

Introduction: Peritoneal carcinomatosis constitutes one of the main causes of failure in long-term period following radical surgery for gastric cancer (GC). The main ground for development of peritoneal carcinomatosis in the postoperative long-term period is the existence of microcarcinomatosis on peritoneal surface during “radical” surgery that can't be detected visually. The aim of the study is to determine the risk of development of peritoneal carcinomatosis following “radical” surgery for T4a stage GC by means of studying the frequency of existence of the carcinoma cells in the peritoneal washing taken immediately after laparotomy.
