Peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer play a key role in the fatal prognosis of the disease. The lack of efficacy of actual therapeutic approaches together with the outcomes achieved with checkpoint inhibitors in gastric cancer compel us to address the current state-of-the-art immunotherapy treatment of peritoneal dissemination. The immunogenicity of the peritoneum has been described to be particularly active at omentum and peritoneal lymph nodes. Also, both innate and acquired immunity seems to be involved at different molecular levels. Recent works show PDL1 expression being less present at the peritoneal level; however, some clinical trials have begun to yield results. For example, the ATTRACTION-2 trial has demonstrated the activity of Nivolumab in heavily pretreated patients even though peritoneal metastases were diagnosed in a 30% of them. Despite positive results in the metastatic setting, peritoneal responses to systemic checkpoint inhibitors remains unclear, therefore, new strategies for intraperitoneal immunotherapy are being proposed for different ongoing clinical trials.
