Renowned Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgeon. Maybe we could even be a little bit more general. We can ask the question how does a malignancy within the abdominal cavity disseminate? Well, cancer can go to the lymph nodes. the surgeon can remove these lymph nodes if they are involved with cancer. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Gastrointestinal cancer or ovarian cancer can go through the bloodstream to the liver and give rise to liver metastases. An alternative pathway for cancer dissemination is through the bowel wall. This is bowel cancer, rectal cancer, gastric cancer. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Cancer spreads through the wall of the colon or through the wall of the stomach. Then those cancer seedlings just spread in a random manner in and around the peritoneal space. It is usually full thickness invasion of the bowel wall by gastrointestinal cancer. There are gynecologic malignancies such as ovarian cancer. In ovarian cancer the dissemination into the peritoneal space happens very early in the natural history of ovarian cancer.
