Pleural invasion, epidermal growth factor receptor mutation and carcinoembryonic antigen level affect pleural lavage cytology-positive status in non-small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Pleural invasion (pl) is strongly associated with the pleural lavage cytology (PLC) status. We analysed tumours with pl and evaluated the relationship between the PLC status and pl. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 428 surgically treated patients who had been diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer with pl and had their PLC status examined between 2000 and 2016. We investigated the influence of...
