Abstract:
Malignant pleural effusion is a common complication of advanced cancer.The present study employed chest circulating hot infusion chemotherapy for 55 cases of malignant pleural effusion.The outcomes were complete remission (n =23,41.8%),partial remission (n =25,45.5%),stable disease (n=4,7.3 %) and progressive disease (n =3,5.5%).And the effective rate was 87.3%.After treatment,the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05).And the levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) were significantly higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05).Pleural circulation perfusion chemotherapy is both safe and effective in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion.And it helps to enhance immune functions and improve the quality-of-life of patients.
