Superoxide dismutase 2 as a marker to differentiate tuberculous pleural effusions from malignant pleural effusions [PDF]
Clinics, 2014 OBJECTIVES: Our previous study demonstrated that superoxide dismutase levels were higher in tuberculous pleural effusions than in malignant pleural effusions, but that this difference ...

Role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in diagnosis of pleural effusion of different origins [PDF]
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014 Background: The undiagnosed pleural effusions are an important clinical problem so scientists spent much effort and time in searching for a new parameter to help in the diagnosis of pleural effusions.

The treatment of malignant pleural effusions [PDF]
Cancer, 1974 This report reviews a 5-year experience in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion with particular emphasis on the use of closed-tube thoracostomy drainage with nitrogen mustard instillation. Of the 133 patients treated at the Barnes Hospital for malignant pleural effusion between January 1 1964 and December 31 1968 bilateral effusions were ...

Management of malignant pleural effusions [PDF]
Thorax, 2000 Malignant pleural effusion is a common problem in respiratory medicine and oncology and in some series accounts for up to 50% of all pleural effusions.1 2 The median survival following diagnosis ranges from three to 12 months and is largely dependent upon the underlying malignancy.

Cost‐effectiveness of indwelling pleural catheter compared with talc in malignant pleural effusion [PDF]
Respirology (Carlton South. Print), 2017 Malignant pleural effusion is associated with morbidity and mortality. A randomized controlled trial previously compared clinical outcomes and resource use with indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) and talc pleurodesis in this population.

Malignant Pleural Effusions [PDF]
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2021 Malignant pleural effusions have a significant burden on patients and the health care system. Diagnosis is typically via thoracentesis, although other times more invasive procedures are required. Management centers around relief of dyspnea and patient quality of life and can be done via serial thoracentesis, indwelling pleural catheter, or pleurodesis.

QJM, 2013 Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) refers to the presence of neoplastic cells in the pleural fluid. Approximately 40 000 people per year in the UK are affected by MPE and it is associated with significant morbidity and an overall poor prognosis. Management should be prompt and care plans should be individualized and involve a multidisciplinary team of ...
