Background The management of refractory ascites in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) is vital for patients with abdominal distention, respiratory distress, and anorexia due to massive ascites with cancer peritonitis. We analyzed the benefits of concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) in the management of AOC.Methods We reviewed records of AOC patients who underwent CART between January 2011 and March 2017. We retrospectively analyzed patients' backgrounds and physiological changes, including body weight, abdominal girth, urine volume, blood component values, blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature before and after CART. We investigated the clinicopathological significance of CART by measuring the mean number of ascites tumor cell (ATC) clusters before CART.Results A retrospective analysis was performed on 29 cases of AOC with massive ascites involving 47 CART sessions. The patients' mean age was 56.612.8 years, and the mean number of sessions was 1.7 +/- 1.2. The mean volume of the processed ascites was 2,937 +/- 820mL, which was concentrated to 272 +/- 84mL containing 85.0 +/- 33.2g protein on average. Significant reductions in abdominal girth (-5.30 +/- 0.65cm; p
