Summary

This study looked at 33 adults with unexplained fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) who needed a scope procedure (thoracoscopy). Doctors compared two ways to tell if the tissue was cancerous or not: looking at it with the naked eye during the procedure, and a quick lab test (ROSE) done right there. The goal was to see which method gives a faster, more accurate diagnosis compared to the standard final lab report.
