“…In Asian countries, the predominant histological type of esophageal carcinoma is squamous cell carcinoma, and tumors are frequently located in the thoracic esophagus. As in lung cancer (11)(12)(13)(14), the presence of exfoliated cancer cells in the pleural cavity after The results are presented as the means ± SEM. The isotonic NaCl buffer before cell suspension, n=5; the other solutions, n=3.…”

“…Spread of malignancies to the pleural cavity, resulting in malignant pleural effusions and pleural metastatic disease are associated with a dismal prognosis, with most patients surviving only a few months after the diagnosis is made (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47). While NSCLC is the most common cause of malignant disease of the pleura, the pleural model used in this study is also relevant to other cancer types, including mesothelioma, breast, ovarian, and lymphoid cancers (48)(49)(50).…”

“…Such foci of disease are extremely difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Metastatic disease in the pleural cavity may indicate a more aggressive tumor biology an a higher risk of recurrence (12)(13)(14)(15)(16), which could contribute to the decreased survival often seen in these patients. As such, new techniques are needed to both diagnose and treat metastatic pleural spread of NSCLC.…”

“…On the other hand, the first intraoperative pleural lavage study conducted in 1958 with 49 cases demonstrated for the first time that there could be tumor cells in pleural cavity in cases with no macroscopic pleural effusion or pleural invasion [1]. Many studies emphasized the significance of pleural lavage in planning lung cancer treatment [2][3][4][5][6][7]. In existing studies, positive pleural lavage cytology after thoracotomy have been calculated as 4-14% [2][3][4]6,8,9].…”

Regardless of pleural effusion, presence of tumor in pleural cavity indicates presence of more aggressive tumor.…”
