Conditions

malignant pleural effusion

Brief summary

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. The comparison will be performed between the treatment group (HITHOC, n = 32) and the control group (chemical pleurodesis or indwelling pleural catheter placement, n = 32).

Detailed description

Comparison of quality of life, Comparison of overall survival, Comparison of progression-free survival in patients with isolated parietal pleural disease undergoing HITHOC plus pleurectomy versus HITHOC alone through a second randomization, Assessment of the accuracy and prognostic correlation of the intraoperative pleural disease dissemination score. This endpoint will be measured in all the patientsi
