Clinico‐cytopathologic analysis of 574 Pericardial Effusion Specimens: Application of the international system for reporting serous fluid cytopathology (ISRSFC) and long‐term clinical follow‐up

PICO estructurado

Población

574 cases with pericardial effusion, including patients with malignant pericardial effusion (e.g., gastric and lung cancer)

Intervención

Classification of pericardial fluid using the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (ISRSFC)

Resultado

Long-term outcomes/prognosis after the occurrence of malignant pericardial effusion

Gastric cancer is associated with the poorest prognosis among patients developing malignant pericardial effusion.

Resumen

Our present study is the first to our knowledge to classify the pericardial fluid from 574 cases in accordance with the recently published ISRSFC, and to present the long-term outcomes of patients with malignant PE at the same time. Moreover, we report for the first time that it is gastric and not lung cancer patients that have the poorest prognosis after the occurrence of malignant PE.
