The diagnosis and management of a malignant pleural effusion can be one of the most vexing problems faced by physicians and their patients. Lung cancer is the most common primary tumor of origin with a prognosis that is limited, but variable and correlated with performance status (PS). Therefore, with a poor PS and known advanced lung cancer, establishing whether or not an effusion is malignant might not be necessary. Conversely, identifiable subsets of patients will have a much better survival, and establishing a definitive diagnosis could be of critical importance. In the great majority of cases, a diagnosis can be determined by serial thoracenteses with or without closed pleural biopsy. However, thoracoscopy is increasingly being utilized and can expedite the workup by obviating the need for repeated thoracenteses and/or closed pleural biopsy, while in the same setting providing definitive palliative treatment. Although studies comparing diagnostic and treatment strategies are limited, we will present the available data with the intention of providing the practicing oncologist with a practical strategy for the diagnosis and management of malignant pleural effusions due to lung cancer. The interventional pulmonologist can play an important role from diagnosis to palliation, greatly facilitating the care of patients with malignant pleural effusions.
