Pleura or Mediastinum Cancer
Definition
Pleura or mediastinum cancer refers to malignant tumors originating in the pleura, the thin tissue covering the lungs and lining the chest cavity, or in the mediastinum, the central compartment of the thoracic cavity. These cancers can significantly affect respiratory function and often require complex diagnostic and therapeutic approaches due to their proximity to vital structures.
