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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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.
