Table 2:
PRGS at initial assessment, depending on the organ of origin.
| Complete or high-grade regression, PRGS 1 and 2 | Vital tumor or minor regression, PRGS 3 and 4 | |
| Gastric cancer, n=33 | 27 (81.8 %) | 6 (8.2 %) |
| HBP cancer, n=20 | 15 (75.0 %) | 5 (25.0 %) |
| Other primaries, n=44 | 14 (31.8 %) | 30 (68.1 %) |
| All tumors, n=97 | 56 (57.7 %) | 41 (42.3 %) |
The proportion of PRGS 1 (no tumor cells detected in multiple peritoneal biopsies) and PRGS 2 (high-grade regression) at initial assessment was significantly higher in HBP and gastric cancer (mean PRGS 1.57, CI 5–95 % 1.42–1.72) than in other histologies (mean PRGS 2.48, CI 5–95 % 2.22–2.74, p<0.001).
