  • Title: [Local treatment of malignant pleural effusion in gynecologic tumors].
    Author: Seitzer D, Musch E, Kuhn W.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1990; 112(9):567-76. PubMed ID: 1696049.
    Abstract:
    Pleural effusions are a frequent complication of malignant gynecologic diseases, especially in breast cancer with an incidence of about 50%. Pleural effusions usually occur at a stage of the disease where no further curative therapeutic options exist. Therefore, the treatment should be effective and have a low side effect profile. The intrapleural administration of mitoxantrone in comparison with other pleurodesis techniques has been demonstrated to meet these requirements.
