    Abstract:
    The paper deals with complex treatment for pleural malignancies with concomitant effusions. Cytoreduction and abatement of effusion, protein loss, inflammation, intoxication and pain syndrome were reported after argon-plasma electrocoagulation of the pleura followed by photodynamic therapy and hyperthermal intrapleural chemoperfusion. Stable effusion abatement effect was confirmed in all eight cases by X-ray examination and changes in homeostatic indices and breathing function as well as lowered severity of intoxication and pain. No emergency repeat intervention or pleural puncture was reported.
