Pleural Fluid for Malignant Cells

Pleural fluid for malignant cells testing is used to detect cancer cells in the pleural space, which can indicate malignancies such as lung cancer, metastatic cancer, or mesothelioma. A sample of pleural fluid is obtained through thoracentesis (fluid aspiration) and examined under a microscope by a cytologist. The presence of malignant cells suggests that cancer is the underlying cause of the pleural effusion. The test is especially important for identifying metastatic cancer from primary cancers, like lung or breast cancer. Risks include infection, bleeding, or puncture of the lung during the procedure. Positive results help guide cancer treatment decisions.
