Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for cure. Peritoneum is a common site of recurrence and the prognosis in patients with peritoneal recurrence is dismal. Hence, prevention is essential to patient's outcomes. In patients with serosal invasion, about half experience peritoneal recurrence within first 2 years after surgery, even after curative surgery. Peritoneal metastasis is caused by the implantation of free cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity exfoliated from the primary tumor before or during curative surgery. It is well known that cancer cells spillage could occur during surgery due to manipulation or even after lymph node dissection. If we can remove these free exfoliated cancer cells on the peritoneal lining, we may reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.
