Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of Cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) for alleviating symptoms in patients with advanced cancer experiencing malignant ascites, reporting significant symptom improvement after treatment.
- - A retrospective analysis of 104 CART procedures shows a median time of 27 days before the next needed paracentesis, with improvements in several patient-reported symptoms and minimal adverse events.
- - The study concludes that CART may offer longer-lasting relief compared to total paracentesis, suggesting a need for further randomized controlled trials to assess long-term outcomes.
