Florian Lordick, Oncologist, Professor of Medicine at the University of Leipzig, Head of Medical Oncology, Director of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Central Germany, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Peritoneal carcinomatosis in gastric cancer remains one of the most pressing unmet clinical needs in oncology.
It is the most frequent metastatic site and is associated with a particularly poor prognosis, with outcomes still disappointingly limited despite current treatment approaches
Our latest consensus work highlights a critical reality:
- There is still no global agreement on optimal management, and
- key evidence gaps persist across diagnosis, systemic therapy, and peritoneum-directed strategies
This underscores the urgent need for stronger, high-quality clinical and translational evidence to guide decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
Grateful to collaborate with the dedicated working group of the International Gastric Cancer Association, bringing together global expertise to define standards and research priorities.
Special thanks to Jimmy So and Brian Badgwell for their outstanding leadership in this important initiative.”
