Positive peritoneal wash cytology with no peritoneal metastasis (CY1P0) is a special type of distant gastric cancer metastasis, which describes a patient with positive peritoneal lavage cytology, but no definitive peritoneal metastasis, and there are no widely accepted treatment guidelines. We enrolled 48 primary CY1P0 gastric cancer patients treated by radical gastrectomy in this study. Our study illustrated the efficacy of radical gastrectomy for CY1P0 gastric cancer patients, and suggested that the pathological N factor and vascular invasion were significant independent risk factors for overall survival (OS).
