Abstract

Lung cancer, the most common metastatic tumor to the pleura, accounts for approximately 40% of all malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Regarding symptomatic MPE, local therapies including pleurodesis and treatment of primary malignancy are required to alleviate dyspnea and/or pleuritic pain. Helixor-M made from European mistletoe (Viscum album) has been used as adjuvant anticancer treatment by boosting immune system. We have used Helixor-M as sclerosing agent for pleurodesis to control MPE. The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Helixor-M to control MPE.
