Abstract excerpt
Body cavity fluids accumulating in progressive malignancies are potential subjects of regular clinical testing for cancer-related features. Besides the cellular component, the supernatant of the fluid proved to gain diagnostic impact as the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fraction ideally reflects general molecular features of the related tumorous process, e.g. in lung carcinoma. Thus, malignant pleural effusions can be...
