Effusion recurrence is a major problem in the palliative care of patients with disseminated cancer. Thirty-two patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusions were treated with intracavitary natural beta-interferon at increasing doses (5-20 million units) for a maximum of three administrations. Among 29 evaluable patients, 11 showed complete (27.6%) or partial (10.3%) remission. No difference in response rate was observed according to sex, age, and histological type. All the responses were observed in patients with an effusion volume less than 1,000 ml (11/16; 68.8%). No side effect was observed. In conclusion, intrapleural beta-interferon is promising as a palliative in the treatment of recurrent malignant effusions.
积液复发是晚期癌症患者姑息治疗中的一个主要问题。32例复发性恶性胸腔积液患者接受了腔内注射天然β-干扰素治疗,剂量逐渐增加(500 - 2000万单位),最多注射3次。在29例可评估患者中,11例出现完全缓解(27.6%)或部分缓解(10.3%)。根据性别、年龄和组织学类型未观察到缓解率的差异。所有缓解均出现在积液量小于1000 ml的患者中(11/16;68.8%)。未观察到副作用。总之,胸膜内注射β-干扰素在复发性恶性积液的治疗中作为一种姑息治疗方法很有前景。
