Abstract | Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) have historically been associated with a poor prognosis, and patients often require a series of invasive procedures and hospitalizations that significantly reduce quality of life at the terminus of life. However, advances in the management of MPE have coincided with the era of immunotherapies, and to a lesser extent, antiangiogenic therapies for the treatment of lung cancer. Landmark studies have shown these drugs to improve overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with lung cancer, but a paucity of phase III trial data exists for the impact of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) on lung cancers associated with MPE. This review will focus on the leading studies investigating the impact of ICI and antiangiogenic therapies in patients with lung cancer and MPE. The diagnostic and prognostic values of vascular endothelial growth factor and endostatin expression levels in malignancy will also be discussed. These advancements are changing the paradigm of MPE management from palliation to treatment for the first time since 1767 when MPE was first reported. The future holds the promise of durable response and extended survival in patients with MPE. |
