Evaluation of pleural fluid lncRNAs for the diagnosis of LC-MPE.

Notes: Receiver operating characteristics curves were drawn with the data of pleural fluid lncRNAs from 217 patients with LC-MPE and 132 BPE. The values of AUC for MALAT1 (A), H19 (B), CUDR (C), CEA (D), PANDAR (E), and the three lncRNAs combined (F) to differentiate LC-MPE from BPE were 0.891, 0.783, 0.824, 0.826, 0.657, and 0.962, respectively.

Abbreviations: LC-MPE, lung cancer-associated malignant pleural effusion; BPE, benign pleural effusion; lncRNAs, long noncoding RNAs; AUCs, area under the curves; CEA, carcinoembryonic antigen.
