Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Malignant ascites (MA) presents complex interactions between cancer cells and immunocytes.
  • Accurate characterization of the tumor microenvironment in MA is crucial for patient stratification and treatment.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture the dynamic cellular interplay within MA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel quantum dot (QD)-based multiplexed imaging technique for simultaneous detection of cancer cells and immunocytes in MA.
  • To establish a new classification model for MA based on observed cellular interactions.
  • To correlate MA features with clinical characteristics for improved patient management.

Main Methods:

  • A quantum dot (QD)-based multiplexed imaging technique was developed for in situ visualization of cancer cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages.
  • The technique was validated in gastric cancer tissues and applied to MA samples from 20 patients.
  • Analysis included staining features, cancer cell-immunocyte interactions, and correlation with clinical data.

Main Results:

  • The QD technique successfully visualized cancer cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes in tumor tissue and MA, revealing distinct microenvironmental features.
  • MA samples exhibited varied cancer cell-immunocyte interactions and quantitative relationships.
  • A new MA classification system was proposed (immunocyte-dominant, immunocyte-reactive, cancer cell-dominant, cell deletion types), showing statistically significant differences in cancer cell-to-immunocyte ratios (P<0.001).
  • Higher cancer cell-to-immunocyte ratios were observed in MA from patients with gynecological and gastric cancers compared to colorectal cancer.

Conclusions:

  • The developed QD-based multiplexed imaging technique effectively visualizes cancer cell-immunocyte interactions in MA.
  • This advancement facilitates a more precise MA classification.
  • Improved MA classification supports individualized treatment decisions for peritoneal carcinomatosis patients.
