Combined Intrapleural and Intravenous Chemotherapy, and Pulmonary Irradiation, for Treatment of Patients with Lung Cancer Presenting with Malignant Pleural Effusion

Abstract

We conclude that the combination of i.p. and i.v. chemotherapy and pulmonary irradiation is feasible and should be tested in a larger clinical trial to determine whether survival can be improved for this cohort of patients.
