Lung cancer patients are particularly susceptible to malignant pleural effusion, when fluid collects in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. Researchers at the Helmholtz Zentrum München, in ...
Hepatic hydrothorax is a respiratory condition that affects people with cirrhosis and other serious liver issues. It occurs when fluid builds up in the pleural space. Hepatic hydrothorax is a ...

For the diagnosis of people with pleural effusion, an initial image-assisted Abrams needle biopsy (IA-ANPB) can match medical thoracoscopy (MT) in diagnostic accuracy in some cases, a small randomized ...
The FDA has cleared Becton Dickinson’s catheter system for the treatment of non-malignant, recurrent causes of pleural effusion, or the collection of fluid next to the lungs. This clearance expanded ...
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) affects up to 15% of patients with cancer, and its incidence and prevalence are increasing. 1 - 4 Most cases are symptomatic; the most common symptoms are dyspnea due ...

In this review, we reflect on the limited effect of the few positive phase 3 randomized, controlled studies, as well as recent trials examining the benefit of immunotherapy. We speculate about how ...
The indications for pleural drainage are diagnostic (to collect samples for cytologic, biologic, or chemical analysis) and therapeutic (to remove large fluid collections and improve respiratory ...
Pleural diseases affect the pleural tissue that lines the inside of the chest cavity and covers the outside of the lungs. The visceral pleura (which covers the lung) and the parietal pleura (which ...
Lung cancer patients are particularly susceptible to malignant pleural effusion, when fluid collects in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. Researchers have discovered a novel mechanism ...
