Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pericardial instillation of bleomycin as a sclerosing agent after pericardial drainage for lung cancer-associated malignant pericardial effusion
Detailed Description: Malignant pericardial effusions MPEs which are commonly associated with cardiac tamponade make oncologic emergencies requiring prompt drainage In lung cancer patients MPE is one of the most unpleasant terminal events Drainage usually results in prompt palliation of symptoms but recurrent effusions often occur Sclerosis with pericardial instillation of various agents is reported to prevent the recurrence and bleomycin is the most commonly used drug with fewer toxicities compared with others There is however no prospective trial of pericardial sclerosis as compared with drainage alone for MPEs and it is far from clear whether sclerosis really benefits these patients in terminal stages

Comparison Intra-pericardial instillation of bleomycin after pericardial drainage versus drainage alone for MPEs caused by lung cancer
