Jennifer Marks: Lung fluid cytology sensitivity for malignancy varies by histology?

Jennifer Marks, Thoracic Oncologist at Georgetown Lombardi, shared a post on X:

“Did you know that the lung fluid cytology sensitivity for malignancy varies by histology?
Overall ~60% for effusion, +/-15% with thora X 2 (thoracentesis)

  • adenocarcinoma, >75%
  • small cell lung cancer, >50%
  • squamous, ~25%”
