Description
Andrea Cossu and co-authors review, in a 2025 study, ten years of staging laparoscopy for high-risk stomach cancer at one large center. In this keyhole inspection, surgeons look inside the belly before major surgery, because scans often miss early spread to the abdominal lining.
The center applied the check to 113 patients whose tumors carried risky traits such as large size or deep growth. The inspection, plus a fluid wash test, found hidden spread or positive cells in twenty-six patients, nearly a quarter. Findings changed treatment plans and steered some patients toward local therapies aimed at the lining. The procedure proved safe across the decade.
