Clinical outcomes of chemical pleurodesis using a minocycline. [PDF]

Ther Adv Respir Dis, 2019
Background: Pleurodesis is often used to prevent the re-accumulation of a malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Intrapleural urokinase (IPUK) therapy facilitates lung re-expansion for patients with loculated MPE or a trapped lung that allows subsequent pleurodesis. MPE management has been traditionally regarded as a symptomatic treatment.
