Welcome @cassueriose, I'm sorry to hear about your nephew. There are certainly cases where surgery isn't done for many reasons and the other treatments are successful. He's fortunate to have others like you, that care so much, as part of his family.
Is his tumor a lung cancer? Is he being treated at a cancer center that the family trusts? Have they tried to treat the pleural effusion at all?
