Especially, lung cancer cell lines that are acquired from pleural effusion exudates are rare in cell line models. Pleural effusions in patients with NSCLC show progressive status and malignant features. In our study, 28 lung cancer cell lines derived from pleural effusions were newly established and their cellular and molecular characteristics were analyzed. Representative mutations i...
