RESUMEN

An interventional pulmonologist possesses expertise in minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving the airways, lungs and pleura. A malignant pleural effusion (MPE), which occurs in 20% of cancer patients, can be a daunting diagnostic challenge insofar as the pleural cavity is a closed cavity. In these patients, treatment may consequently be delayed before a precise diagnosis can be given. In the meantime, an interventional pulmonologist is called upon to carry out a wide range of examinations in order to establish the etiological diagnosis and to treat the symptoms of an MPE patient. Classical medical thoracoscopy, also called "pleuroscopy", is the reference method in MPE diagnosis because it allows visualization of the pleural cavity, pleural biopsy under direct visual control, providing excellent diagnostic yield. Over the past decade, new diagnostic methods have emerged, such as ultrasound-guided biopsy, as well as different interventions, such as indwelling pleural catheters, aimed at improving the quality of life of MPE patients, for whom therapeutic options are limited. The objective of this review of the literature is to point out the role of the interventional pulmonologist in the management of MPE by detailing the various diagnostic and therapeutic methods he possesses at the present time.
