Article Synopsis
- Advances in pharmacogenetics (PGx) can significantly improve treatment decisions in healthcare, but challenges remain that hinder its widespread use in Canada.
- This paper discusses barriers to PGx implementation in Quebec and analyzes successful global models to suggest effective solutions.
- The authors conclude that Quebec is well-positioned to adopt PGx practices in clinical settings.
Objective: To assess the practical utility of pleural fluid carbonic anhydrase XII (CAXII) quantification for differential diagnosis of effusions.
Materials And Methods: Fluid was collected prospectively from fifty patients presenting with lymphocytic pleural effusions for investigation and CAXII was quantified by ELISA.
Results: Pleural fluid CAXII concentrations were significantly higher in lung cancer patients (n=30) than in tuberculous controls (n=20).
