PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the specificity of rapid on site evaluation (ROSE) of touch preparations (preps) for predicting malignancy on final pathology in pleuroscopy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the sensitivity of rapid on site evaluation (ROSE) of touch preparations (preps) for predicting malignancy on final pathology in pleuroscopy.
