Peritoneal cytology was considered positive when malignant cancer cells were found in the smears. Medical records of each patient were then reviewed in detail and relevant clinical and pathological information were obtained .The patients were then followed for recurrence of disease and mortality either in our follow up clinic or by telephonic conversation. Associations between cytology status (CY) and clinicopathological variables and effect of cytology status on overall survival was evaluated.
