A total of 64 cases were recruited prospectively and 51 were enrolled into final analysis. In training cohort, 100% (17/17) PM patients obtained positive FLD cfDNA, comparing to 5/23 (21.7%) in patients without PM. Peritoneal cfDNA had a high sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 77.3% for diagnosis of PM (AUC: 0.95). In validation group of 11, 5/6 (83%) patients with PM obtained positive FLD cfDNA, comparing to 0/5 in non-PM (
