Resumen
BOTERO B, Juan D et al. Malignant pleural effusion and palliative care with tunneled pleural catheter. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1, pp.14-21. Epub 03-Sep-2022. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.35509/01239015.722.
This narrative review examines how cancer causes changes in pleural physiology, how to study malignant pleural effusion, and how to bring palliative care to patients with pleural effusion by means of indwelling tunneled pleural catheter. This catheter shows greater benefits in clinical practice, being used mainly for the treatment of recurrent malignant pleural effusion, but also in some cases of recurrent benign pleural effusion, making it a useful therapeutic tool in advanced cancer.
