Staging laparoscopy using ALA‐mediated photodynamic diagnosis improves the detection of peritoneal metastases in advanced gastric cancer

This study evaluated the usefulness of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using oral 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) for the detection of peritoneal metastases in advanced gastric cancer.
