Pleural biomarkers in diagnostics of malignant pleural effusion: a narrative review [PDF]
Translational Lung Cancer Research, 2021 Although cytology and pleural biopsy of pleural effusion (PE) are the gold standards for diagnosing malignant pleural effusion (MPE), these tools’ diagnostic accuracy is plagued by some limitations such as low sensitivity, considerable inter-observer ...

Single-cell analysis of diverse immune phenotypes in malignant pleural effusion
Nature Communications, 2021 The complex interactions among different immune cells have important functions in the development of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Here we perform single-cell RNA sequencing on 62,382 cells from MPE patients induced by non-small cell lung cancer to ...
