Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and presents a very high mortality. The main reason for this situation is metastasis after curative resection, with the most common type being peritoneal metastasis, which accounts for more than 50% of all cases. Once peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) happens, the pathological stage is stage IV and there is a grim prognosis. Accordingly, early effective prevention and treatment of PC have extremely important clinical significance for the improvement of the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. This article describes the pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis using serum biomarkers and image examinations, as well as multimodality treatment of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer by neoadjuvant intraperitoneal-systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), cytoreductive surgery+hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS+HIPEC), early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC), extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage (EIPL), molecular targeting therapy, and usage of drug delivery systems.
