Core Tip Recent evidence indicates that malignant ascites may be associated with the high malignancy and poor prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM), but no robust consensus has been reached until now. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic meta-analysis to demonstrate the prognostic significance of malignant ascites in GC patients with PM. This meta-analysis revealed that GC patients with malignant ascites tend to have a worse prognosis and that the volume of ascites has an impact on GC outcomes.
