Testing for Spread of Stomach Cancer to Abdominal Cavity

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to establish a clinical useful gene expression panel for detecting and predicting peritoneal relapse and survival to address the unmet clinical need for a simple and accurate staging of the peritoneum in gastric cancer.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

Adult patient, ≥ 18 years of age.
Undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy and peritoneal washings for staging of gastric adenocarcinoma per normal clinical indications.
Patients included will be those who are undergoing this procedure as part of their clinical work-up and will be identified by study staff and the clinical providers.
All patients will undergo staging imaging including high quality CT scan with contrast and/or PET CT or PER MRI imaging as standard of care.
Patients will undergo diagnostic laparoscopy with traditional peritoneal cytology with H&E as well as IHC evaluation performed as standard clinical care. If a single patient undergoes multiple diagnostic laparoscopies with peritoneal cytology for clinical purposes excess fluid can be collected from each patient.

Exclusion Criteria:

Any patient with insufficient excess peritoneal washing fluid will be excluded.
