Tiny tubes tested to tackle cancer fluid
NCT ID NCT07208409
Summary
This study aims to find out if very small chest tubes can be used to treat fluid buildup in the chest caused by cancer (malignant pleural effusion). Researchers will compare three different small tube sizes (8, 12, and 14 French) in 60 patients to see which works best for a procedure called talc pleurodesis, which seals the space to prevent fluid from returning. The main goal is to check if the tubes stay unblocked and functional after the procedure.
