Scientists search for clue to stop lung fluid buildup in cancer
NCT ID NCT02092155
Summary
This study aims to understand why and when lung fluid stops returning in some cancer patients who have drainage tubes. Researchers will measure a protein called TGF-B in the fluid to see if it can predict which patients' bodies will naturally seal the space. The goal is to help doctors better understand this process in 95 patients with cancer-related fluid buildup around the lungs.
