Peritoneal carcinomatosis in mouse models.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PCa) represents a metastatic stage of a disease with unmet therapeutic options. Malignant cells from primary tumors (gastrointestinal or gynecologic malignancies) invade the peritoneal cavity and eventually seed onto peritoneal surfaces, with the omentum being the most common nest area. With a median survival of less than 6 months, PCa has a dismal prognosis that can be improved with treatments only available to a select few individuals with low tumor burden.

Sectors have a double interest in an extraocular muscle palsy: to avoid the diplopia and to aid the reeducation of palsied muscles. Patient can alternatively wear the two types of glasses with sectors. Authors decrease sector's size when motility improves.
