Sonography of malignant pleural effusion
European Radiology, 1997Two hundred and ten patients with exudative pleural effusion were studied by ultrasound for sonographic signs of pleural carcinomatosis. Images were evaluated for echoes within the fluid, septations, sheet-like or nodular pleural masses, and associated lesions of the lung. Our results showed that sonographic findings of echogenic or septated fluid were

Postgraduate Medicine, 1986
Pleural effusions are common in cancer patients, developing either from the malignant condition or from unrelated causes, such as congestive heart failure, pulmonary infarction, or infection. Diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion rests on demonstration of the presence of malignant cells in the pleural fluid or pleural biopsy specimen.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2002
The management of pleural effusions and, in particular, recurrent MPE require an accurate assessment of the characteristics of the pleural fluid and the relief of the patient's symptoms. Although a common problem, treatment of pleural effusions and MPE is highly variable.

Malignant pleural effusion is a frequent condition with important prognostic repercussions on duration and quality of life. The neoplasms that more frequently determine pleural effusion are lung and breast cancer and pleural mesothelioma. Lymphomas, tumours of the genitourinary tract and gastrointestinal tract as a group account for a further 25 ...

Management of Malignant Pleural Effusions
Chest, 1993Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are a common complication of advanced malignancies, particularly lung and breast cancer. They are caused by a variety of mechanisms including tumor obstruction of lymphatic flow, spread of malignant cells via the systemic circulation, and tumor invasion of the pulmonary arterioles.

Chest, 1985Two hundred consecutive patients with malignant pleural effusion were reviewed. The pathologic etiology of malignant pleurisy was: primary lung cancer in 123 cases; five, mesothelioma; and 72 cases secondary to metastatic tumors.

Treatment of malignant pleural effusions
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1999Malignant pleural effusions are common in cancer patients with advanced disease. These patients usually present with chest pain, cough, and progressive shortness of breath, all of which may cause significant impairment in quality of life. Therapeutic options include systemic treatment; thoracentesis; or, most commonly, tube drainage and sclerotherapy ...
