Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Lung adenocarcinoma commonly causes malignant pleural effusion (MPE), a condition with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Pleural effusion specimens offer a minimally invasive source for diagnosis and molecular testing. This study evaluates cytologic adequacy for molecular analysis, characterizes mutational and PD-L1 profiles, and correlates findings with survival outcomes. METHODS: Over...
