To describe the diagnosis, workup, management, and areas of active research for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) arising from gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). The peritoneum is a common site of metastasis and recurrence for GA. Unlike other cancers of the peritoneal surface, there are no approved locoregional techniques to address peritoneal disease in GA. PC has a unique natural history, therapeutic response, and outlook that sets it apart from solid organ metastases.
