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

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 ...

Malignancy is the most common cause of exudative pleural effusion in patients over the age of 60 years. Control of the effusion significantly reduces morbidity and improves quality of life. Tube thoracostomy with subsequent chemical pleurodesis is the treatment of choice for patients with tumors that are relatively insensitive to systemic chemotherapy.

Phenotyping malignant pleural effusions
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2016Patients with malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are heterogenous in their disease course, symptom severity, responses to cancer therapies, fluid recurrence rates, and thus need for definitive fluid control measures. To tailor the most appropriate treatment for individual patients, clinicians need to 'phenotype' the patients and predict their clinical ...

Management of malignant pleural effusions
Respirology, 2004Abstract: Malignant pleural effusion is a common clinical problem. Evacuation of the pleural fluid and prevention of its reaccumulation are the main aims of management. Pleurodesis should be attempted early, although considerable practice variations exist in the way it is performed.

Pleural Effusion from Malignancy
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1978Pleural effusion from metastatic malignancy can cause major impairment of respiratory function and eventual death. Although cure is not possible, successful palliative treatment allows months to years of productive life, obviating the need for continuous hospitalization and repeated thoracenteses.

Management of Malignant Pleural Effusion
Lung, 2013Malignancy is one of the most common causes of pleural effusion. Malignant pleural effusion is defined by the presence of malignant cells in the pleural fluid. Development of malignant pleural effusion usually defines advanced malignancy. Pathophysiology of malignant pleural effusion is not fully understood and may involve complex interactions between ...
