Malignant pleural effusion and cancer of unknown primary site: a review of literature.

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2019
Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are most frequently (50-65%) noted from lung and breast cancers. They are commonly unilateral and are reflective of poorer prognosis. Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) account for 4-5% of all invasive cancers.
