Malignant pleural effusions arise from neoplastic infiltration of the pleura, and are common manifestations of cancers which arise as a primary tumor of the pleura (mesothelioma) or secondary to primary cancers from other sites. Radiological investigations should always include a staging CT thorax and often will demonstrate pleural nodularity and ...

Management of Malignant Pleural Effusions
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2008Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are commonly seen as complications of advanced malignancy, especially in lung cancer and breast cancer. The management will depend on the performance status of the patient, severity of the symptoms, and the primary tumor's response to systemic therapy.
