癌性胸水的积聚可引起呼吸及循环系统症状,多需作胸穿排液。仅作胸穿排液可短时改善症状,但因很快又有胸水再度积聚,因此需要反复穿刺抽液,所以,对癌性胸膜炎的治疗,在短期间把胸水充分抽 出,肺部复张后,从胸膜腔注入对胸膜有刺激作用并有抗癌效果的药物,以防止胸水之再发是合理的。对胸膜有刺激作用的抗癌剂有博莱霉素(Bleomycin)、丝裂霉素C(Mitomycin C)、阿霉素(Adriamycin)、 Accumulation of cancerous pleural effusions can cause respiratory and circulatory symptoms, requiring more thoracentesis and drainage. Only thoracentesis and drainage can improve symptoms for a short period of time. However, due to the rapid accumulation of pleural effusion, repeated punctures are needed. Therefore, in the treatment of cancerous pleurisy, pleural fluid should be fully extracted in a short period, and the lungs should be re-expanded. Afterwards, it is reasonable to inject from the pleural cavity a drug that has a stimulatory effect on the pleura and has an anticancer effect in order to prevent the recurrence of pleural effusion. Anti-cancer agents that stimulate the pleura include Bleomycin, Mitomycin C, Adriamycin,
