Predicting peritoneal recurrence and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy benefits in T4 gastric cancer patients via contrast-enhanced CT radiomics

Despite advances in surgical techniques and molecular targeted therapy, gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, causing 750,000 deaths annually [1–3]. Tumor recurrence in the peritoneum occurs in 40β€―%–60β€―% of advanced GC patients who have undergone radical surgery [4–6], and patients who develop peritoneal recurrence (PR) have a median overall survival (OS) of only 3–9β€―months [7,8].
