Expression and Clinical Significance of Pim-1 and RON in Lung Cancer Patients with Benign and Malignant Pleural Effusion

Key Points

• To evaluate the expression of Pim-1 and RON in pleural effusion from lung cancer patients and assess their clinical significance.
• Comparison of Pim-1 and RON expression between benign and malignant pleural effusions.
• Analysis of pleural effusion samples from lung cancer patients.
• Assessment of the diagnostic value of Pim-1 and RON detection.
• Pim-1 and RON are significantly more expressed in malignant pleural effusion compared to benign cases.
• Detection of these markers suggests potential utility in distinguishing malignant from benign pleural effusions.
