Since he has gross left pleural effusion, can simply drain the pleural effusion and do a cytoblock testing..if positive then can avoid biopsy and further testing can be done on the block..this with other blood tumour markers can help in diagnosis..looks like advanced carcinoma of lung but needs confirmation and proper evaluation for further planning.
