Researchers are studying whether a blood test can reliably detect peritoneal metastasis—when stomach cancer spreads to the lining of the belly. Currently, doctors use an invasive camera procedure or imaging scans to check for this spread, but these methods aren't always accurate or convenient. This study will compare blood samples from people with and without this type of spread to see if the blood test could become a simpler, less invasive alternative.
When stomach cancer spreads to the abdominal lining, it's a serious sign that requires immediate treatment decisions. The current methods to detect this spread are either invasive (requiring a surgical camera), uncomfortable, or not very reliable (like CT scans). A simple blood test could help doctors catch this spread earlier and more easily, so patients can get the right treatment faster.

You will have a blood sample drawn, which is a routine procedure that takes just a few minutes. Depending on which group you're in (those with or without cancer spread), researchers will compare your blood results to help develop a new diagnostic tool. There is no medication to take or ongoing treatment as part of this study—the main participation is the single blood draw at the beginning.
