There are two kinds of peritoneal cancers: primary and secondary. Symptoms can include: abdominal pain, bloating, distension (stretched or enlarged abdomen), nausea, vomiting, weight loss or weight gain, ascites (fluid build-up). The retroperitoneum is the space between the peritoneum and the posterior abdominal wall that contains the kidneys and associated structures, the pancreas, and part of the aorta and inferior vena cava.
