This presentation is aimed at analyzing the possibility of detecting the peritoneal micrometastases through multiple peritoneal biopsies to the patients with tumors of the subdiaphragmatic digestive tract.

Nowadays, detection of the micrometastases is performed indirectly through cytological analysis and / PCR analysis of the peritoneal liquid, through the histopathological study of the peritoneal fragments intraoperatively collected and the immunohistochemical study.

This presentation is aimed at analyzing the possibility of detecting the peritoneal micrometastases through multiple peritoneal biopsies and to correlate this with various factors such us: staging neoplasia, the affected organ, histopathological type, tumoral grading.

Inclusion of the patients that find themselves in the early stage of peritoneal carcinomatosis - of peritoneal micrometastases - would allow for the application of an adequate treatment and could greatly increase the patient’s survival chances
