pubmed:abstractText |
Twenty-one patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) were prospectively entered into a nonrandomized, single-armed study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant interferon (IFN) alpha-2b (INTRON A; Schering-Plough; Kenilworth, NJ) as an intrapleural palliative agent. From March 1989 through February 1993 (48 months), 21 patients were entered into the study. No symptomatic effusion recurred and no substantial side effects were associated with treatment. This suggests recombinant IFN alpha-2b represents a safe and effective intrapleural agent for the palliation of MPE.
