Lung cancer tumor markers in serous effusions and other body fluids
Article: Lung cancer tumor markers in serous effusions and other body fluids Authors: Jaume Trapé, Silvia Bérgamo, Laura González-Gracía, Carolina González-Fernández. Abstract: From its onset and during its progression, lung cancer may affect various extrapulmonary structures. These include the serous membranes, the pleura and pericardium, and less frequently the central nervous system, with leptomeningeal involvement. In these cases, fluid accumulates in the serous membranes which may contain substances secreted by the tumor. Measuring the concentrations of these substances can provide useful information for elucidating the origin of the fluid accumulation, either in pleural and pericardial effusions or in [...]
