When the cytopathological examinations of pleural fluid are negative for tumor, the effusion should be excluded as a staging element and the tumor should not be classified as metastasis. * The physician statement of pleural effusion can be used to code this data item * If the physician feels the pleural effusion is due to tumor, despite negative cytology, the physician's assessment can be used. * If pleural fluid cytology is described as suspicious/suspicious for mesothelioma, code 7
