ERJ: The TARGET trial was a multicentre randomised trial comparing PET-CT targeted pleural biopsy to standard CT-guided pleural biopsy for suspected pleural malignancy. The results do not support the practice of PET-CT to guide pleural biopsies. bit.ly/40HOY6p

Thank you @Nickmaskell1 for a great summary on the current management of malignant pleural disease. We hope that TACTIC will help to answer whether there is a role for a rapid pleurodesis pathway in the management of MPE to reduce time in hospital and SOB. #WinterBTS2023
Kicking off day 2 it’s @Nickmaskell1 summarising the recent @BTSrespiratory pleural guidelines, which he co-led with @naj_rahman and @markxroberts. Session expertly chaired by @defonseka and @rachel_mercer1 #BTSWinter2023
