Fagotti’s laparoscopy scoring algorithm to predict optimal cytoreduction.
| Cancer Parameter | Score |
|---|---|
| Stomach infiltration (obvious cancer dissemination into gastric wall) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
| Diaphragmatic carcinomatosis (confluent nodules and/or extensive infiltration to diaphragmatic surface) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
| Mesenteric retraction (involvement of the root of the mesentery and/or large infiltrating nodules) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
| Omental cake (tumor dissemination of omentum to the small and large curvatures of the stomach) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
| Peritoneal carcinomatosis (enormous peritoneal diffusion and/or disease spread with miliary distribution pattern) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
| Bowel infiltration (tumor dissemination to small or large bowel necessitating colon resection (except rectosigmoid colon) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
| Liver metastases (superficial lesions >2 cm) | Absent = 0 Present = 2 |
