Background. We performed prospective validation of the cancer ratio (serum LDH : pleural ADA ratio), previously reported as predictive of malignant effusion retrospectively, and assessed the effect of combining it with “pleural lymphocyte count” in diagnosing malignant pleural effusion (MPE).Methods.

Abstract:
Predicting survival of patients with malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) is notoriously difficult. A robust prognostic marker can guide clinical decision making. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in blood has been shown to predict survival in many cancers. Pleural fluid bathes the malignant pleural tissues, thus the NLR of the pleural fluid may reflect more closely the local tumour environment. The objective of this study was to explore the prognostic significance of pleural effusion NLR for MPE. We analysed matched effusion and blood from 117 patients with malignant and 24 with benign p

Background: Pleural effusion is caused by various disease, including tuberculosis infection and malignancy. To determine the etiology, immunologic parameters are needed to distinguish tuberculous and malignant pleural effusions, including pleural fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR).Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted at Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar from March 2020 to September 2020.

Abstract:
Background Differentiating between tuberculosis and malignancy as the cause of an exudative lymphocyte predominant pleural effusion is difficult due to similarities in the cellular and biochemical characteristics of the pleural fluid in both conditions. Microbiological tests in tubercular pleural effusions have a poor diagnostic yield, and the long turnaround time for results prevents an early diagnosis. The diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is hampered by a variable yield of pleural fluid cytology and closed pleural biopsy and the fact that thoracoscopy may not be readily availabl

Abstract:
Differentiation of malignant from benign pleural effusions is challenging in clinical practice due to limitations in the cytologic analysis. The combination of pleural fluid biomarkers has previously been used to predict malignant pleural effusion (MPE). We have conducted a prospective observational study to assess the diagnostic potential of cancer ratio [(CR) serum lactate dehydrogenase (sLDH): pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (pADA)], CR plus (CR: pleural lymphocyte count), sLDH: pleural lymphocyte count, and age: pADA in differentiating malignant effusions from benign ones.

Abstract Objective Tumor-related eosinophilia may have extended survival benefits for some cancer patients. However, there has been no report on the prognosis difference between eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE) and non-EPE in lung cancer patients. Our study aimed to investigate the prognosis difference between EPE and non-EPE due to lung cancer. Patients and methods We retrospectively reviewed patients diagnosed with lung cancer who presented with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) between May 2007 and September 2020 at the National Hospital Organization Kochi Hospital.

Abstract:
The automated examination of body fluids (BF) serves as a valuable screening tool for the presence of malignant cells in such samples. Malignant cells are identified as high fluorescence cells (HFC) when analyzed using the Sysmex XN-1000 automated analyzer. This study aimed to assess the correlation between HFC cell counts generated by the automated analyzer and manual cytological examination for detecting malignant cells. Additionally, it sought to establish reliable cutoff values for malignant cells since there is a lack of literature on this subject. Conducted at the department of pathology

Abstract:
Background: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) affects approximately 150,000 patients in the United States each year and usually signifies advanced-stage cancer. The optimal treatment remains a challenge but indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) offer several advantages and may help achieve spontaneous pleurodesis (SP) in some patients. Objectives: We aim to investigate the predictors of SP among patients with MPE, particularly in a resource-limited community-based safety net hospital. Design: This is a retrospective cohort study done at a community-based safety net hospital. Methods: Adults diagno

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow cytometry has a crucial role in the diagnosis of leptomeningeal disease in onco-hematology. This report describes the flow cytometry characterization of 138 CSF samples from patients affected by non-Hodgkin lymphoma, negative for disease infiltration. The aim was to focus on the CSF non-neoplastic population, to compare the cellular composition of the CSF with paired peripheral blood samples and to document the feasibility of flow cytometry in hypocellular samples. Despite the extremely low cell count (1 cell/µl, range 1.0–35) the study was successfully conducted
