Interpretation of expert consensus 2014 on diagnosis and treatment of malignant pleural effusion
نویسنده
چکیده
1 Chinese malignant pleural effusion (MPE) diagnosis and treatment expert group fi rst proposed the consensus of diagnosis and treatment of malignant pleural effusion in 2013, which was published in 2014. This plays a positive role in regulating, promoting and facilitating clinical and research work of MPE. Though problems were frequently encountered in diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of MPE, they still have not attracted academic interests from scholars dedicated in respiratory and oncological research, as compared with lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. Due to the relative weakness of basic and clinical studies on MPE, therefore, some methods proposed in the consensus, especially therapeutic methods, are requiring evidence-based medicine to support.
