Pleurodesis success rate for malignant pleural effusions - talc slurry vs. poudrage

11.2 Pleural and Mediastinal Malignancies, 2016
Introduction: Talc pleurodesis remains the mainstay of treatment for malignant pleural effusions (MPE). We sought to establish the efficacy of talc slurry (TS) and poudrage (TP) and whether this differs by tumour type. Method: A retrospective cohort analysis of MPE patients undergoing 4g Steritalc thoracoscopic TP (Jan 2006-Dec 2013) and TS (Jan 2012 ...

Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation: effective pleurodesis with talc slurry

International Journal of Cardiology, 2002
Prolonged pleural effusions following a Fontan operation are a difficult problem. Although fenestrations and embolizations of systemic-pulmonary artery collaterals were suggested to treat and to decrease the risk of this complication, talc slurry pleurodesis may successfully augment and accelerate the beneficial effects of those techniques against the ...

Serial Observations after High Dose Talc Slurry in the Rabbit Model for Pleurodesis

Lung, 1998
The mechanisms leading to a pleurodesis after the intrapleural injection of a sclerosing agent are not completely understood. The purpose of the present study was to make serial observations over 28 days on the pleural fluid findings and the gross and microscopic changes in the pleura after talc slurry administered intrapleurally at a high dose.

Talc slurry pleurodesis. Pleural fluid and histologic analysis.

Chest, 1995
Although talc slurry pleurodesis is effective for control of malignant pleural effusions and recurrent pneumothorax, the mechanisms of pleurodesis remain incompletely defined. We instilled 70 mg/kg of sterile asbestos-free talc slurry into the pleural space of New Zealand white rabbits and studied the inflammatory response at 1, 2, 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90,

Arterial Desaturation Syndrome Following Pleurodesis with Talc Slurry: Incidence, Clinical Features, and Outcome

Cancer Investigation, 2003
The objectives were to define the incidence, risk factors, clinical features and outcome of arterial desaturation syndrome following talc pleurodesis in patients with malignant pleural effusions. This retrospective, observational study took place at a tertiary care cancer center in New York.

Pleural Granuloma Mimicking Malignancy 42 Years after Slurry Talc Injection for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

European Surgical Research, 2010
<i>Background:</i> Talc poudrage is considered a safe pleurodesis technique to improve the results of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in cases of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). <i>Methods:</i> We report the case of a patient with left pleural pseudo-nodular plaque and a high metabolic rate upon PET scan suspected ...

The role of talc in preparing steatite slurries suitable for spray-drying

International Journal of Materials Research, 2010
Abstract The present work was driven by the need to replace the source of talc (hereafter referred to as standard) used in the manufacturing of steatite ceramics at Rauschert Portuguesa Lda. For this purpose, several talc powders were characterised in terms of pH, mean particle size (d50), morphology and crystalline phases, as well as ...

Long-term effect and tolerance of talc slurry for control of malignant pleural effusions

Oncology Reports, 2001
Drainage of malignant pleural effusions (MPE) by thoracocenthesis and subsequent pleurodesis is an established means of symptomatic relief in terminally-ill patients, but the optimal therapy remains unclear. Among many sclerosing agent, talc is the most widely used, but its intrapleural administration and dosage have not been clearly determined.

Prospective Randomized Trial of Talc Slurry vs Bleomycin in Pleurodesis for Symptomatic Malignant Pleural Effusions*

Chest, 1997
Symptomatic malignant pleural effusions are common sequelae in patients with certain malignancies. Pleurodesis via bedside thoracostomy is the current treatment option most commonly used. To our knowledge, this is the first prospective randomized trial to examine which agent, bleomycin or talc slurry, is superior in terms of effectiveness, safety, and ...

Severe interstitial pneumonia associated with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint antibody after talc slurry pleurodesis

Respiratory Investigation, 2018
A 70-year-old Japanese man with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck presented with severe interstitial pneumonia associated with nivolumab, after talc slurry pleurodesis. Following the development of malignant pleural effusion, he underwent chest drainage and was administered intrathoracic talc as a pleurodesis.
