Background: Accurate staging is crucial for the proper management of patients with
nonsmall cell lung cancer, especially for choosing the best treatment strategy. Different …

The role of PET and integrated PET-CT in the diagnostic workup of suspected malignant
pleural effusions is unknown. Earlier systematic reviews (published 2014 and 2015) both …

BACKGROUND The role of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET imaging for diagnosing
malignant pleural effusions is not well defined. The aim of this study was to summarize the …

Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT integrated
imaging in differentiating malignant from benign pleural effusion. Methods A total of 176 …

Background Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common medical problem in lung cancer
(LC). Pleural fluid cytology (PFC), chest computed tomography (CCT) and positron emission …

Background and objective Pleuroscopy with pleural biopsy has a high sensitivity for
malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Because MPEs tend to recur, concurrent diagnosis and …
