What is Ascitic Fluid for Malignant Cells?

The Ascitic Fluid for Malignant Cells test is used to detect cancerous cells in the ascitic fluid, which may indicate peritoneal carcinomatosis or other cancers that spread to the abdominal cavity, such as ovarian, gastric, or colorectal cancer. The ascitic fluid is collected through paracentesis, where a needle is inserted into the abdomen.

The fluid is then sent to the lab for examination under a microscope. The procedure carries minimal risk, with discomfort or infection at the puncture site being the main concern.

A positive result confirms the presence of malignancy in the abdomen.

What to expect & how to prepare

Ascitic Fluid for Malignant Cells is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Ascitic Fluid for Malignant Cells result rather than self-diagnosing.
