DOI: 10.1007/s00408-017-0032-3
Abstract: BackgroundThe usefulness of clinical, radiological and pleural fluid analytical parameters for diagnosing malignant and paramalignant pleural effusion is not clearly stated. Hence this study aimed to identify possible predictor variables of diagnosing malignancy in pleural… read more here.
