We then evaluated the prognostic factors in patients and also evaluated predictive markers for peritoneal recurrence in 124 patients without peritoneal metastasis at surgery</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Out of the 141 cases, 140 patients were successfully analyzed by RT‐PCR of peritoneal lavage fluids. According to multivariate analysis, the combined results of RT‐PCR (CEA and CK‐20) and CK‐20 alone in addition to pathological N (pN)‐stage were significantly correlated with overall survival. Multivariate analysis showed that the RT‐PCR (CEA and CK‐20) and CEA alone in addition to pathological T‐stage, pN‐stage, and histological grade were significantly correlated with peritoneal recurrence after surgery.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>This is the first multicenter prospective study to show that RT‐PCR analysis of peritoneal lavage fluid with the combination of CEA and CK‐20 markers was useful for predicting overall survival and peritoneal recurrence in patients with clinically advanced gastric cancer. <jats:italic>J.
