Core Tip	The malignant peritoneal effusion that accumulates during ovarian cancer dissemination and progression constitutes a unique tumor environment. Bidirectional communications between tumor cells and their surrounding environment influence ovarian cancer dissemination, progression and patient prognosis. To solve the complexity of this tumor environment and understand how it affects cancer progression, a paradigm shift is necessary. Peritoneal effusions should be studied as integrated systems with innovative modeling approaches.
