Thank you for participating in this survey. Your input is essential to better understanding current practices, technical approaches, and perceived impact of staging laparoscopy and the collection and processing of peritoneal washings in patients with gastric cancer.

This survey is intended for surgeons who actively treat and manage patients with gastric cancer. If you do not routinely manage these patients, we kindly ask that you do not complete the survey.

The purpose of this survey is to characterize contemporary practices among surgical oncologists and to identify areas of variability in staging laparoscopy and peritoneal washing techniques. This data may inform future efforts toward procedural standardization and potentially improve the accuracy of peritoneal staging.

This survey consists of 29 total questions and should take no longer than 10 minutes.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help guide future educational initiatives and consensus-building efforts.
