Pump System

Malignant pleural effusion is common and causes disabling symptoms such as breathlessness. Treatments are palliative and centred around improving symptoms and quality of life but an optimal management strategy is yet to be universally agreed. A novel pump system, allowing fluid to be moved from the pleural space to the urinary bladder, may have a role for the management of recurrent malignant pleural effusion. We hereby describe the first animal study using this device and the results of the first application in patients.

Peritoneal Lining

In this chapter, malignant effusions are first defined and then characterized into either ascites, where fluid collects in the layers of the peritoneal lining, and malignant pleural effusion where fluid collects within the pleural space in the lining of the lung. The aetiology and common presenting symptoms of both are outlined, before treatment strategies are considered. For both, this generally consists of drainage of the fluid using specific techniques which are described. Methodologies for managing effusions outside of simple drainage are also covered, along with a brief review of the evidence supporting them.

Introduction 540 Malignant pleural effusion 542 Malignant effusions are abnormal collections of fluid. They most commonly occur in the peritoneal or pleural space. They are generally a sign of advanced metastatic disease. They can be managed but the fluid normally reaccumulates, often within a short space of time....
