Clinical Trial Summary

Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) is considered to be a common presentation at malignant tumors representing 15% of all cancer cases. It carries a burden on our patients with dyspnea being the most common symptom in most of cases. Management of symptomatic malignant pleural effusion remains to be a point of debate. Data available from literature shows conflicting results lacking high quality evidence which necsscitates further research work. Options differs to include chemical pleurodesis using medical or surgical talc poudrage or slurry. Surgical intervention with abrasion pleurodesis or pleurectomy using VATS approach has been used in many studies. Using indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) has also proved comparable efficacy at many clinical trials. In this study we want to help answering this question so that we can add to the current knowledge aiming to offer the best care for those patients
