Peritoneal metastasis

Spread across the lining of the abdomen, the most common way stomach cancer recurs and the hardest to treat.

Present in ~30% at diagnosis and the leading site of relapse after gastrectomy. Poorly imaged (CT misses low-volume disease; staging laparoscopy is standard), poorly penetrated by systemic drugs. Intraperitoneal paclitaxel (PHOENIX-GC), HIPEC, and PIPAC are under evaluation; CLDN18.2 CAR-T shows activity.
