In-vitro proliferation assay with recycled ascitic cancer cells in malignant pleural mesothelioma: A case report

Figure 2 Use of KM-cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy and collagen gel droplet-embedded culture drug sensitivity test. A: Schema of KM-cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (KM-CART) and collagen gel droplet-embedded culture drug sensitivity test applied in the presented case; B: Image of the KM-CART system used for actual treatment. Ascitic fluid obtained via abdominocentesis (i) was immediately processed using the KM-CART system consisting of an ascites filter (ii), an ascites concentrator (iii), a roller pump (iv), and an aspirator (v). KM-CART: KM-cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy; CD-DST: Collagen gel droplet-embedded culture drug sensitivity test.
