(): Score. Moderate symptoms is defined as weight loss of < 10%, moderate abdominal pain, ascites asymptomatic. Severe symptomatology is defined as weight loss of > 10%, pain that continues, intestinal obstruction, symptomatic ascites. PCI: Peritoneal Cancer Index (0-39). Histology of the primary tumor.
