The Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) epidemiological forecast indicates that malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication of cancer and contributes to significant healthcare costs. A 2022 review article suggests that approximately 150,000 new cases of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) are diagnosed each year in the United States. Further, an estimated 500,000 new cases of malignant pleural effusion are reported annually in the United States and Europe combined, as per a research article published in the Medical Clinics of North America (2019).

Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) Understanding: Disease Overview

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a condition where fluid accumulates in the pleural space (the area between the lungs and chest wall) due to the spread of cancer. It is commonly associated with advanced cancers, particularly lung, breast, and ovarian cancers.

Symptoms of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) include shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing, which occur as the fluid restricts the lungs' ability to expand fully. MPE is a serious and often life-threatening complication because it signifies the spread of cancer beyond its original site. The prognosis for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) patients depends on the type of cancer, the extent of metastasis, and how well the condition responds to treatment.

Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) Epidemiology Perspective

The Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) epidemiology division offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) epidemiology scenario by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for the disease and their trends. The malignant pleural effusion (MPE) detailed epidemiology segmentation is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.
  • According to a 2022 review article, around 150,000 new cases of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) are diagnosed each year in the United States. More than 60% of these cases are linked to lung and breast cancers, while gastrointestinal (GI) and hematologic cancers each contribute to 11%, with other malignancies making up the remaining cases.
  • As per Koegelenberg, Coenraad FN, et al. (2018), the incidence of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is 660 per million people, accounting for over 1 million individuals being affected.
  • A 2021 report from the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) revealed that 60% of hospitalizations due to pleural infections occurred in the 18- to 64-year-old age group, with a male predominance observed in adult pleural infections.
  • Various studies show that malignant pleural effusion (MPE) occurs in up to 20% of cancer patients and can be linked to various types of cancer, including primary pleural cancers (mesothelioma) and secondary metastases from lung, breast, and ovarian cancers.
  • Pleural effusion, including malignant pleural effusion (MPE), is the most common pleural space disease, affecting approximately 1.5 million patients in the United States each year.

Country-wise Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) Epidemiology Segment

The Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) varies significantly between countries due to differences in factors such as prevalence of certain cancers, healthcare access, diagnostic practices, and environmental factors. The types of cancers that commonly cause malignant pleural effusion (MPE), such as lung, breast, and ovarian cancers, can differ by region, influencing the incidence of the condition. Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication of cancer, with an estimated 500,000 new cases reported annually in the United States and Europe combined, according to a research article published in the Medical Clinics of North America (2019).

Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE): Treatment Overview

The treatment approach for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) depends on the severity of the effusion, the patient's profile, and the type of cancer involved. Thoracentesis, a procedure that involves removing the excess fluid from the pleural space, provides immediate relief from symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain. Chemical pleurodesis is effective for preventing the recurrence of pleural effusion in many cases.

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) therapeutics, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or opioids, are often prescribed to manage chest pain associated with the condition. In some cases, corticosteroids are given to reduce inflammation and symptoms.
