Mast cells mediate malignant pleural effusion formation.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2015
Mast cells (MCs) have been identified in various tumors; however, the role of these cells in tumorigenesis remains controversial. Here, we quantified MCs in human and murine malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) and evaluated the fate and function of these ...

A Rare Giant Pleural Thymoma in Posterior Mediastinum. [PDF]

, 2012
Thymoma is an epithelial neoplasm of the thymus, which commonly lies in the anterior mediastinum. Unusually, thymomas can also be found in other locations. Surgical excision, when feasible, appears to provide good results. We encountered a rare case of a

Management of Malignant Pleural Effusion

Clinical Pulmonary Medicine, 2018
© 2018 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. Malignant pleural effusion is a common clinical problem with an increasing incidence that may be seen to complicate the management of almost all forms of cancer. It is associated with a very poor median survival leading to a palliative management approach.

Important prognostic factors for survival in patients with malignant pleural effusion

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2015
BackgroundThe approach to palliative treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) should be individualized because these patients generally have poor survival.

Pleural Effusions in Lung Cancer: Detection and Treatment [PDF]

, 2018
In all cell types of lung cancer, pleural effusion is a possible complication of disease. Paramalignant pleural effusions [PMPE] are not a consequence of malignant disease spreading to pleura.

CD163+ tumor-associated macrophage is a prognostic biomarker and is associated with therapeutic effect on malignant pleural effusion of lung cancer patients

OncoTarget, 2015
CD163+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in the progression of cancer. However, the significance of CD163+ TAMs in malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is still unclear.

Diagnostic utility of pleural fluid and serum markers in differentiation between malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions

European Journal of Medical Research, 2009
Study objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of four different tumor markers: cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in patients with malignant and non ...
