small pericardial effusionAlthough often asymptomatic, presence of small pericardial effusion (SPE) is shown to be associated with adverse events and increased mortality in various conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and prognostic importance of SPE in a cohort of patients hospitalized...

The PFS of NSCLC patients with pleural or pericardial effusion is expected to be prolonged with osimertinib plus bevacizumab and to demonstrate their safety [28]. Consistent with the above studies, our preclinical experiments and retrospective analysis indicated that osimertinib and bevacizumab may ...
A 17% frequency of cytologically negative pericardial effusion (CNPE), accompanied in some cases by tamponade, occurred a median of 12.6 months from the onset of treatment for localized small-cell carcinoma of the lung. CNPE was apparently caused by toxicity of radiation/chemotherapy treatment ...
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 26% of patients and included arrhythmia (4%), cardiac tamponade (2%), myocardial infarction (2%), pericardial effusion (2%), and pericarditis (2%). Six (11%) patients died ...

The reasons for exclusion were: early stage (oIIIB) in five patients, previous treatment (OK-432, radiation therapy or surgery for local metastasis) in eight patients, other concurrent malignancies in two patients, age (475 years) in one patient, presence of pericardial effusion in one patient...
A small right pleural effusion is present remote from the lesion. In this case the lesion is classified as cT3NxMx, as no status can be inferred about the lymph node disease (Nx) in view of the LLC, or about the pleura (Mx). Esophagus (T4) Isolated invasion of the esophagus is ...
Fig. 2. CT scan depicting a large left pulmonary mass infiltrating the left pulmonary artery, left main bronchus and main carina as well as a severe pericardial effusion that is primarily localized around the left ventricle. An enlarged subcarinal lymph node is also visible. A bronchoscopy (Fi...
