Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Both males and females will be included in this study. To minimize the potential risk of age and gender differences in the peritoneal immune system, we will age and gender-match the samples for analyses from the control groups and the peritoneal metastases group. Patients are eligible when aged >18 old.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The following general criteria will lead to exclusion from participation in this study: a. No informed consent is provided by patient or its legal representative b. Signs of bleeding in the peritoneal cavity, as this will lead to contamination of blood immune cells in the peritoneal cavity c. Presence of intra-abdominal medical devices or corpus aliena, as this could elicit a local inflammatory response d. History of active peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) e. Recent history (

|---|---|
| The goal of this explorative study is to establish a correlation map between the healthy peritoneal immune compartment and the peritoneal immune composition in patients with peritoneal metastasized disease. Clustering of transcriptional (scRNA-Seq) and cell surface protein expression (CyTOF) allows for identification of immune cell populations and our main study parameter will be differences in immune cell populations between peritoneal fluid from patients without peritoneal involvement and peritoneal fluid of patients with peritoneal involvement. | — |
