It is most often used when a person has a pleural effusion, meaning extra fluid has built up in the pleural space. In oncology care, it can help determine whether cancer is involved and what kind of cancer cells are present. It is commonly ordered in hospitals and cancer centers as part of evaluating shortness of breath or chest symptoms."}
