High grade serous ovarian cancer ascites exhibit an impaired immune environment – immunosuppressive & protumoral – detrimental to the immune response

Background Malignant ovarian cancer ascites are increasingly recognized as major contributors to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Ascites create a complex microenvironment where tumor cells interact with soluble mediators, metabolic factors, and immune cells. These interactions can influence tumor behavior, immune response, and treatment sensitivity. Characterizing the immune and metabolic composition of ovarian cancer ascites, together […]
