Core Tip	Gastric cancer staging is still matter of debate as it evolves along with introduction of new diagnostic tools. Use of laparoscopy and washing cytology in gastric cancer staging has identified a particular category of patients with no macroscopic peritoneal disease but with positive peritoneal cytology. Prognosis and management of such patients still remains a controversial issue.
