Abstract
Oncolytic viruses mediate antitumor responses through direct tumor cell lysis and induction of host antitumor immunity. However, the therapeutic efficacy of oncolytic viruses against malignant ascites has rarely been explored. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunomodulatory effect of an intraperitoneal injection of human type 5 recombinant adenovirus (called H101) against malignant ascites. Forty patients with malignant ascites were recruited and treated with intraperitoneal H101 in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. The 4-week clinical responses were determined by an objective assessment of ascites volume change. The ascites response rate and ascites control rate were 40% (16/40) and 75% (30/40), respectively. The major adverse events following intraperitoneal H101 administration were mild-to-moderate abdominal pain (8/40, 20.0%) and fever (11/40, 27.5%); no grade III/IV adverse events were observed. Mass cytometry and immunocytological analysis at baseline, and days 7 and 14 post-treatment showed that intraperitoneally injected H101 led to marked tumor cell depletion, increased dendritic cell and CD8+ T cell densities. H101-meditated tumor-specific immune activation on day 14 post-treatment was further identified by enzyme-linked immunospot assay. In conclusion, intraperitoneal H101 administration was well tolerated and effective in treating malignant ascites; thus, its immune activation ability may be a promising tool in combination with immunotherapy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Angiogenesis, defined as the abnormal development of new blood vessels in cancer, is a key component of cancer development. Clinical trials have proven that angiogenesis blockers can be effective in halting cancer growth across numerous types of gynecologic cancers. This review discusses the mechanisms of angiogenesis in gynecologic cancers, current practices and areas for development. Abstract Since the discovery of angiogenesis and its relevance to the tumorigenesis of gynecologic malignancies, a number of therapeutic agents have been developed over the last decade, some of which have become standard treatments in combination with other therapies. Limited clinical activity has been demonstrated with anti-angiogenic monotherapies, and ongoing trials are focused on combination strategies with cytotoxic agents, immunotherapies and other targeted treatments. This article reviews the science behind angiogenesis within the context of gynecologic cancers, the evidence supporting the targeting of these pathways and future directions in clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pazopanib and sunitinib are oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. For both oncolytics, a clear target trough concentration level in plasma has been defined above which improved clinical efficacy can be expected. However, many factors can alter TKI exposure, including disease characteristics. CASE A 79-year old male with metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma and malignant ascites was treated with pazopanib. Initially, treatment with pazopanib at adequate trough concentrations resulted in regression of ascites. After a 6-month puncture-free interval, paracenteses were again required and the plasma trough concentration of pazopanib had decreased to 5 mg/L without any dose adjustments. Despite a dose increase, pazopanib levels remained subtherapeutic and could not prevent new paracenteses. Pazopanib concentrations in the drained ascites fluid were comparable to plasma concentrations and remained high also after treatment discontinuation. This observation suggests that the ascites compartment may act as a third space in which pazopanib accumulates. During subsequent treatment with sunitinib, a similar distribution over ascites fluid was observed. CONCLUSION Presence of ascites or pleural effusion in patients treated with TKIs may lead to subtherapeutic plasma exposure, which may hamper treatment efficacy. Measuring TKIs plasma concentrations regularly during treatment is essential to identify patients with subtherapeutic exposure.

Abstract
RATIONALE Malignant ascites (MA) is one of the poor prognostic factors for advanced pancreatic cancer and can bring about serious symptoms. The improvement of quality of life for patients is priority. However, there is no standard method for the treatment for pancreatic cancer-mediated MA. Apatinib is a novel and highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. There are no reports of concurrent apatinib with gemcitabine in patients with pancreatic cancer-mediated MA. PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we presented a 64-year-old man patient who visited hospital due to abdominal pain for 1 month. DIAGNOSES He was initially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and his first symptom was MA. INTERVENTIONS After failing in tube drainage and gemcitabine therapy, the patient received gemcitabine combined apatinib orally and after administrated 1 month, the MA was evaluated as nearly clear response according to the RECIST 1.1 standard, and without further need of paracentesis. The CEA and CA199 reached the lowest level after administrating for 2.5 months during the treatment process. OUTCOMES 10.5 months following apatinib administration, the patient achieved a progression-free survival for more than 11 months. Hypertension (grade IV), hand-foot syndrome (grade I) and proteinuria (grade II) were observed. LESSONS It indicated that apatinib concurrent gemcitabine may be a superior choice for pancreatic cancer-mediated MA. Further clinical trials required to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) represents 15-35 % of pleural effusions and markedly worsens the prognosis and quality of life of patients with cancer. Malignant mesothelioma (MM) and lung adenocarcinoma are the most frequent primary and secondary causes, respectively, of MPE. Effective treatments for cancer-related MPE are warranted in order to improve symptoms, reduce the number of invasive pleural procedures, and prolong patient life. Since angiogenesis plays a key role in MPE development, the potential role of bevacizumab and other anti-angiogenic therapies have been explored in this review. No relevant phase III trials have specifically analysed the benefit from adding bevacizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy in lung cancer-related MPE. However, small retrospective series reported 71.4-93.3 % MPE control rate, a reduction in invasive procedures, and a safe profile with this combination. Being approved for the first-line treatment of non-squamous advanced NSCLC, the addition of bevacizumab should be considered for patients presenting with MPE. In addition, further studies in this are recommended. In MM, the addition of bevacizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy did not meet primary endpoints in two phase II trials. However, the beneficial results on OS reported in comparison with historical cohorts and the statistically significant benefit on PFS and OS observed in the phase III MAPS trial foretell an eventual role for the combination of platinum/pemetrexed/bevacizumab as front-line systemic therapy for pleural MM. To date, no other anti-angiogenic drug has showed significant benefit in the treatment of patients with either MPE or MM. However, new promising drugs such as ramucirumab or recombinant human endostar warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Advanced gastric cancer ranks second as the global leading cause of cancer-related death and improvements in systemic chemotherapy have reached a plateau. Advanced molecular sequencing techniques help identifying patients more likely to respond to targeted agents; nevertheless we are still far from major breakthroughs. Although antiangiogenic drugs have produced notable advances, redundant pathways or mechanisms of resistance may limit their efficacy. Novel compounds have been recently developed to specifically target VEGF receptors, PlGF, FGF, MET, and angiopoietin. Ramucirumab, a monoclonal antibody specifically directed against the VEGFR-2, has emerged as a novel therapeutic opportunity. REGARD and RAINBOW were the first phase III studies to report the value of this strategy in gastric cancer patients, and other ongoing trials are testing novel antiangiogenic compounds. The aim of our review is to present the state-of-the-art of novel antiangiogenic compounds in advanced gastric cancer, underlying the biology, their mechanism of action, and their clinical results.

Cediranib combined with chemotherapy reduces tumor dissemination and prolongs the survival of mice bearing patient-derived ovarian cancer xenografts with different responsiveness to cisplatin. Clin Exp Metastasis 2015; 32:647-58.

Abstract
Cediranib is a pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that affects tumor angiogenesis and is under investigation in clinical studies on ovarian cancer. Using a panel of eleven patient-derived ovarian cancer xenografts (EOC-PDX) growing orthotopically in the peritoneal cavity of nude mice we investigated the effect of cediranib as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy on overall survival (primary endpoint, at euthanasia), and tumor dissemination and metastasis in the peritoneal cavity (secondary endpoint, interim analysis). The response of EOC-PDX to cediranib varied (increment of lifespan, ILS between 12 and 85 %) in the different EOC-PDX, independently from tumor responsiveness to cisplatin (DDP). Cediranib combined with DDP and in maintenance regimen prolonged the survival of mice bearing EOC-PDX with different responsiveness to DDP (ILS between 34 and 224 % with only DDP and between 135 and 337 % with DDP plus Cediranib); survival was extended with the addition of paclitaxel to chemotherapy (50-77 % complete remissions). Cediranib reduced ascites of advanced EOC-PDX, but had limited effect on tumor dissemination; only combined with chemotherapy, ascites and metastases were both reduced. The reduction of tumor dissemination was associated to the increase of overall survival. In conclusion, the response to cediranib differs in the various EOC-PDX, reproducing the heterogeneous response of cancer patients to angiogenesis inhibitors. Cediranib potentiated chemotherapy, significantly inhibiting tumor progression and dissemination to metastatic organs, even in tumors poorly responsive to DDP. EOC-PDX preclinical models with different responsiveness to Cediranib may help in identifying determinants of response to cediranib and mechanisms of adaptation to antiangiogenic treatments.

Abstract
Purpose The aims of this study are to establish a new method for simultaneously detecting the interactions between cancer cells and immunocytes in malignant ascites (MA) and to propose a new model for MA classification. Methods A quantum dot (QD)-based multiplexed imaging technique was developed for simultaneous in situ imaging of cancer cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages. This method was first validated in gastric cancer tissues, and then was applied to MA samples from 20 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastrointestinal and gynecological origins. The staining features of MA and the interactions between cancer cells and immunocytes in the ascites were further analyzed and correlated with clinical features. Results The QD-based multiplexed imaging technique was able to simultaneously show gastric cancer cells, infiltrating macrophages, and lymphocytes in tumor tissue, and the technique revealed the distinctive features of the cancer tumor microenvironment. When this multiplexed imaging protocol was applied to MA cytology, different features of the interactions and quantitative relations between cancer cells and immunocytes were observed. On the basis of these features, MA could be classified into immunocyte-dominant type, immunocyte-reactive type, cancer cell-dominant type, and cell deletion type; the four categories were statistically different in terms of the ratio of cancer cells to immunocytes (P<0.001). Moreover, in the MA, the ratio of cancer cells to immunocytes was higher for patients with gynecological and gastric cancers than for those with colorectal cancer. Conclusion The newly developed QD-based multiplexed imaging technique was able to better reveal the interactions between cancer cells and immunocytes. This advancement allows for better MA classification and, thereby, allows for treatment decisions to be more individualized.
