Schematic representation of the ovarian cancer micro-environment. Malignant cells establish as a tumour bulk in the peritoneal cavity, where stromal cells are also present. Once the tumour becomes more aggressive, cancer cells can migrate and invade the surrounding stroma or detach from the tumour and shed into ascitic fluid as single cells, aggregates or spheroids.
