Cytotoxic Natural Killer Subpopulations as a Prognostic Factor of Malignant Pleural Effusion

ConclusionsOur data suggest that both the PF/PB ratios of cytotoxic subpopulations CD57+ NK and CD16+ NK are useful as a prognostic factor of MPE. Other subpopulations (CD56 bright CD16 − and CD56 dim CD16− NK) could help to diagnose MPE.
