Pre‐resection pleural lavage cytology is useful to predict tumor recurrence and the prognosis of lung cancer patients. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from effusion specimens have come under the spotlight, and several studies showed that microRNA in EVs is associated with prognosis. MicroRNA‐21 (miR‐21) is a representative onco‐microRNA, and miR‐21 in EVs (EV‐miR‐21) promotes cancer dissemination by inducing mesothelial to mesenchymal transition (MMT) in the peritoneal cavity. In this study, we isolated EVs from pleural lavage fluid and focused on EV‐miR‐21 as a diagnostic factor with a relationship to pleural dissemination.
