Malignant pleural effusion biomarkers as predictor for chemical pleurodesis success
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015 Background: 42–77% of exudative pleural effusions are due to malignant diseases (Marel et al., 1993) [1]. This study aimed to evaluate the value of biochemical parameters of the pleural aspirate in predicting success of chemical pleurodesis in adult ...
