Illustration of proposed inhibitory molecular mechanism. Malignant peritoneal ascites is characterized by a sodium/chloride imbalance. This imbalance suppresses NK and T cell effector function by interfering with calcium signaling and signal transduction. Sodium channel blockers can prevent inhibitory effects caused by excess of sodium. Illustration was created with BioRender
