Core Tip

Core Tip: The prediction and early detection of metachronous peritoneal metastasis remain a difficult task in clinical practice. Conventional imaging modalities have limited sensitivity for detecting peritoneal nodules < 5 mm in diameter. Second-look surgery may be an alternative means for early detection of PM; however, its invasive nature and surgical complications mean that this approach should only be applied to high-risk patients. The present study aimed to develop a nomogram to help surgeons screen out high-risk patients and select appropriate individualized follow-up and treatment strategies.
