| Abstract: |
Background: Malignant pleural effusions are commonly managed with tube tho-racostomy drainage followed by chemical pleurodesis. Doxycycline, bleomycin and povidone-iodine have been shown to be effective for intrapleural injection, although no agent has definitively proved advantages over the other. The aim of the present study was to compare these three agents in terms of response rate and side effects. |
