Abstract:
Peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer is one of the most important causes of death in gastric cancer. Systemic chemotherapy is the main treatment method at present, but limited curative effect has been acquired.With the deepening understanding and exploration of cancer, the combination of systemic chemotherapy and surgical treatment can not only enrich the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs, but also prolong the survival time of patients. These have been confirmed by subgroup analyses in some clinical studies. Surgery is becoming an important treatment strategy for patients with peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. We expect that more prospective results will be verified by evidence-based medicine in the future.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
