Enhanced diagnostic approaches for malignant pleural effusions: an extensive biochemical and statistical analysis
Malignant pleural effusions are a common and debilitating complication of advanced malignancies, affecting approximately one million patients annually. This condition leads to significant morbidity and a decline in quality of life. Accurate diagnosis and effective management are critical yet challenging due to the overlap in biochemical markers between malignant and benign pleural effusions.
