- It found a high diagnostic accuracy of 95.7%, with lung and breast cancers being the most frequently diagnosed types, and molecular profiling for cancer mutations was successfully completed for all malignancy cases.
- Major complications were rare, occurring in only 2.1% of patients, and overall, MT proved to be a safe and beneficial procedure in managing suspected MPEs without significant adverse outcomes.
