Treatment of neoplastic pleural effusion with iodinated talc
Tratamiento del derrame pleural neoplásico con talco iodado
Resumen:
Our experience with iodized tale poudrage for controlling recurrent malignant pleural effusions in presented.The method was perfomed in 23 patients; 16 of the patients were benefited by control of their effusion, full lung expansion and dissappearance of the dyspnea. In 4 patients with good control of their effussion and dissapearance of the dyspnea the lung expansion was incomplete.Three patients didn't improve following poudrage. Nineteen patients have died for their primary cancer disease. The survival time of these patients ranged from 1 to 36 month, with an averag of 7,7 months. Four patients lived more than a year. (14, 24, 27 and 36 months).We believe that iodized tale poudrage is a usefull palliative procedure in selected group of patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusion, satisfactory general condition and logical life expectancy.
Se analizan 23 pacientes que presentaban un derrame pleural neoplásico, a 22 se les efectuó tratamiento de su derrame con espolvoreo de talco iodado. En uno, sólo se utilizó talco dado que era alérgico al iodo. Trece de ellos tuvieron tratamiento previo con otro procedimiento que fracasó (punción evacuadora más instilación de citostaticos). La evolución inmediata fue muy buena en 16 pacientes con excelente reexpansión pulmonar y desaparición de la disnea en 4 pacientes, si bien se logro controlar el derrame y la disnea, la reexpansión pulmonar no fue totalmente satisfactoria.En los 3 pacientes restrultes, (uno de ellos presentaba además un derrame pericárdico) la respuesta fue poco favorable. En la evolución alejada 19 pacientes fallecieron entre 1 mes y 3 años (promedio 7,7 meses) todos como consecuencia de la generalización tumoral, aunque sin presentar al morir trastornos pleurales. Cuatro pacientes vivieron más de un año (14, 24, 27 y 36 meses)
