SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF MALIGNANT PLEURAL EFFUSION.

Abstract

Classically described; pleural effusion is the accumulation of fluid in the pleural gap that may be caused by any reason. If there is an evidence of invasion by the tumor or any malign cells detected in this fluid, it’s called as malign pleural effusion (MPE). Almost any cancer can produce an MPE which is a common clinical problem in thoracic surgery. MPE is the most frequent reason for lung cancer. Lung cancer and breast cancer are the leading causes of MPE that is account for 75% of the MPE cases. Pathophysiology of MPE has not been fully understood yet and is still on debate. Classical symptoms are progressive dyspnea, cough and chest pain. Detailed anamnesis, physical examination and radiological monitoring are required. The presence of a MPE usually indicates advanced disease that is incurable with surgery alone. MPE is prevalent disease and its therapy is essential. At all events, control of malignant pleural effusions is often difficult and inadequate. The risks of the therapy options should be considered meticulously. The survival time is short and expressed with months in patients with MPE. The goal of the treatment is to decrease the symptoms and the duration of hospitalization as well as to improve the quality of life of the patient. Also we aimed to return the patients and their families to daily life as earliest as possible. In order to achieve these targets, the therapy should be established for each patient according to the type, severity, localization and prognosis.
