In this concise article, we give a current overview of the practical approach to diagnosing pleural mesothelioma (PM). PM is a rare, incurable, aggressive cancer almost exclusively related to previous asbestos exposure. We begin by outlining the general approach to pleural malignancy. The focus then shifts to pleural mesothelioma (PM), with discussions on cytological analyses, a direct-to-thoracoscopy approach, specialist services, and future directions. This narrative review aims to provide an updated, practical overview of current and emerging diagnostic strategies.
在这篇简明文章中，我们对胸膜间皮瘤（PM）的实际诊断方法进行了当前概述。PM是一种罕见、无法治愈且侵袭性强的癌症，几乎完全与既往石棉暴露相关。我们首先概述胸膜恶性肿瘤的一般诊断方法。然后重点转向胸膜间皮瘤（PM），讨论细胞学分析、直接胸腔镜检查方法、专科服务以及未来方向。这篇叙述性综述旨在提供关于当前和新兴诊断策略的最新实用概述。
