Managing malignant pleural effusion

Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 2019
Malignant pleural effusion can be managed in different ways, including clinical observation, thoracentesis, placement of an indwelling pleural catheter, and chemical pleurodesis. The optimal strategy depends on a variety of clinical factors. This article uses cases to illustrate the rationale for determining the best approach in different situations.

Posthumously Diagnosed Myhre Syndrome Presenting With Pleural Remodeling and Endometrial Cancer

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (OMIM 139210) is a genetic condition defined by neurodevelopmental disability, characteristic facial features, and multisystem proliferative fibrosis. While various types of lung disease have been reported, pleural remodeling leading to restrictive lung disease has not yet been described.

Treatment of malignant pleural effusion

Journal of Visualized Surgery, 2018
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a very disabling condition that often affects patients with advanced neoplasm. Conservative approach, repeated thoracentesis, pleurodesis and use of indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) are the main methods to deal with this condition.

Flow cytometry‐based monitoring of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells: Reagent selection, assay design, and clinical utility

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is essential for monitoring post‐infusion CART expansion and persistence and for real‐time clinical decision‐making. Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) enables rapid, live‐cell detection with absolute quantification and concurrent immunophenotypic characterization. This review

Surgical Removal of Residual Tumor Masses in Patients Undergoing Targeted Therapy for EGFR‐Mutated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Lung Cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations often exhibit significant tumor reduction following tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Residual tumors frequently remain, however, leading to drug resistance and disease progression.
