The AJCC system classifies SEER gastric cancer patients into stages in which subgroups often have wide variations in survival. For patients undergoing limited lymph node analysis, the proposed TNrM system may predict survival more accurately.

Maximal cytoreductive surgery combined with regional (HIPEC) and systemic chemotherapy in selected patients with gastric carcinomatosis and limited disease burden can achieve prolonged survival.

Machine-learned Bayesian belief network analysis generated a novel nomogram predicting 3- and 5-year OS in patients treated with CRS and HIPEC for MPM. Pre-CRS estimation of survival times may potentially individualize patient care by influencing the use of systemic therapy and frequency of diagnostic imaging, and might prevent CRS in patients unlikely to achieve favorable outcomes despite surgical intervention.
