Abstract
Aim: Determining the patients with long survival helps determine the best prevention strategies such as pleurodesis or tunneled pleural catheter, providing better palliation by minimizing the symptoms and morbidities associated with MPE relapse. This study aims to evaluate the predictive strength of LENT, a current prognostic score for MPE patients, and determine its effect on survival and importance in clinical decision-making.
