About this trial
This project aims to assess the expression levels of novel molecular markers identified through screening in clinical samples of malignant pleural effusion, to evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of these markers as potential diagnostic genes for lung adenocarcinoma.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients requiring thoracentesis for pleural effusion drainage as determined by a physician based on clinical need.
Signed informed consent.
Disqualifiers
Patients under the age of 18.
Patients with malignancies other than lung adenocarcinoma.
Trial population
The control group consists of non-malignant pleural effusion, while the case group includes those diagnosed with pleural effusion with lung adenocarcinoma.

target gene expression levels between malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions
Novel biomarkers specifically expressed in malignant pleural effusions may provide additional diagnostic options for malignant lung cancer in clinical diagnosis
