Refractory ascites causes distress in patients with cancer. Cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy(CART)is an option for the treatment of ascites. Conventional CART had drawbacks in terms of the volume of ascites it could treat and the complications it caused.

Malignant intractable ascites worsens not only patient symptoms but also their daily activities. It often leads to a patient discontinuing or postponing chemotherapy. In the present study, we introduced cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy(CART)for malignant intractable ascites from colorectal cancer.
