METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF MALIGNANT PLEURAL EFFUSION

Methods for Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion

This brief review provides up-to-date information on the management of malignant pleural effusions (MPE).In general, selection of the most appropriate treatment approach should be individualized.Management of MPE relies on tumor type, pulmonary re-expansion, performance status, symptoms, and life expectancy.Pleurodesis and IPC placement are two eff
