Cancer fluid drainage: does daily make a difference?
NCT ID NCT00761618
Summary
This study aims to find the best schedule for draining fluid from the chest in advanced cancer patients. Researchers are comparing whether draining a chest catheter every day works better than draining it three times a week for relieving breathing problems. About 250 patients with cancer-related fluid buildup around their lungs will participate to see which approach helps them feel better and keeps the fluid from returning.
