Key Words |
Malignant pleural effusion; Talc pleurodesis; Indwelling pleural catheter; Palliation; Review |
Core Tip |
Indwelling pleural catheters appear to be as efficient and cost-effective as talc pleurodesis in the treatment of malignant pleural effusions with a low complications rate. A great advantage is that terminally ill patients can be treated at home in the last stage of their lives. |
