This review aims to comprehend the biochemical makeup of malignant ascites, such as pH, cholesterol, protein, etc., which is crucial to developing therapeutics with better treatment outcomes and hence correlate with corresponding prognostic value. The unique tumour microenvironment exhibited by malignant ascites and the crosstalk between inflammatory cells, cytokines and chemokines, interactions between tumour and non-tumour cell types, activation of vital cell signalling pathways within the TME for VEGF-regulated sustained angiogenesis, cancer progression and metastasis is highlighted. This review addresses the need to develop comprehensive assay platforms to identify various biochemical aspects of ascites, to discover the interactions ofthe tumour microenvironment and to study VEGF-regulated permeability that can expedite early diagnosis and progression of ascites.  \nKeywords: Ascites-malignant ascites-ovarian cancer-tumour microenvironment-cholesterol-lysophosphatidic acid  \nAsian Pac J Cancer Prev, 25 (10), 3413-3420  \nIntroduction  \nAscites is a condition characterised by inflammation that causes an excessive buildup of fluid in the abdomen. This state is seen in many neoplasms involving peritoneal spread. In virtually all patients, recurring illness is followed by the formation of malignant ascites, which is a serious clinical problem that numerous individuals having advanced disease face, causing discomfort and distress [1] .  \nThe peritoneal dispersion complicates the intricate mechanisms underlying ascites development. Tumor growth leads to increased fluid filtration due to the expansion of the cross-sectional area of microvessels lining the abdominal cavity. Tumors also induce a pro-inflammatory response in the abdominal cavity, facilitating the adhesion of tumor cells to the peritoneal surface and intraperitoneal organs. In addition to various anatomical and physiological factors, retrograde lymph flow can accelerate the formation of ascites [2] . The complex pathophysiology of malignant ascites is closely correlated with its progression. Malignant ascites facilitates trans-mesothelial invasion by cancer cells. Additionally, it accelerates the senescence of normal peritoneal mesothelial cells, leading them to adopt traits that support cancer development (Figure 1) .  \nAscites is one of the most important determinants in the formation of ovarian malignancies, especially when it comes to distant organs and peritoneal metastases [3] .  \nFigure 1.

Although ascites is believed to play a significant part in the metastatic process, studying its constituents may help us understand the mechanisms behind the spread of cancer cells, which may lead to new avenues for management and improved patient prospects [4] .
