Pericardial Fluid for Malignant Cells

This test checks pericardial fluid for cancer cells, often used to diagnose pericardial effusion caused by malignancy. Preparation includes local anesthesia and positioning for fluid extraction. During the procedure, a needle is inserted into the pericardial sac to withdraw fluid. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding structures. After the test, mild discomfort or chest soreness may occur. Results identify malignant cells, indicating possible cancer spread to the heart's lining. Conditions like recent heart surgery or anticoagulant use can affect the procedure or fluid quality, potentially influencing test accuracy.
