## Abstract Twenty-five patients with malignant pleural effusion were treated with a single intrapleural dose of Quinacrine. Eighteen patients (72 per cent) had a significant response, with no reaccumulation of fluid for at least 2 months following treatment up to a maximum of 18 months in 2 patien
## BACKGROUND. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of a chronic indwelling pleural catheter with doxycycline pleurodesis via tube thoracostomy in the treatment of patients with recurrent symptomatic malignant pleural effusions (MPE). ## METHODS. In this multi-i
