ABSTRACT
Owing to its insidious onset, the diagnosis of ovarian cancer is usually delayed and followed with ascites, which results in a poor prognosis compared to other gynecological malignant tumors. Ascites, a pathological accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, contains a variety of cellular and non-cellular components, which promotes tumor metastasis, leads to chemotherapy resistance, and seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. In this article, the basic characteristics and the recent progress of ascites in ovarian cancer are reviewed, so as to provide references for further research.
