Polidocanol at different concentrations for pleurodesis in rats

, 2005
Purpose. We previously found that 0.5% polidocanol was more effective than tetracycline for pleurodesis in rats. Thus, we conducted the present study to evaluate the efficacy of different concentrations of polidocanol for pleurodesis in ...

Clinically important associations of pleurodesis success in malignant pleural effusion: Analysis of the TIME1 data set [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Chemical pleurodesis is performed for patients with MPE with a published success rate of around 80%. It has been postulated that inflammation is key in achieving successful pleural symphysis, as evidenced by higher amounts of ...

The Inflammatory Cytokine Profile of Patients with Malignant Pleural Effusion Treated with Pleurodesis

, 2020
Patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) who underwent successful pleurodesis survive longer than those for whom it fails. We hypothesize that the therapy-induced inflammatory responses inhibit the cancer progression, and thereby lead to a longer ...

The impact of pleurodesis in malignant effusion on respiratory function

, 1999
Pleurodesis of malignant pleural effusion provides for a substantially better quality of life compared to onging exudation with the need for repeated evacuation of fluid. Successful pleurodesis leads to permanent cessation of fluid production as a result
