Objective:To observe and compare the curative effect between the intrapleural-chemotherapy combined Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton-injection and the Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton-injection after control of the ...Objective:To observe and compare the curative effect between the intrapleural-chemotherapy combined Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton-injection and the Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton-injection after control of the malignant pleural effusion by chemotherapy.Methods:Every time after elimination of pleural effusion,we injected DDP and Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton at the same time into pleural cavity;or after we emplaced an improved central vena catheter into pleural cavity then took out closed-drainage or eliminated the pleural effusion every day,then injected 5-FU 0.5 qd intrapleural-space.After the malignant pleural effusion had being controlled,800μg Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton was injected intrapleural-space. (We call it as"improved following-therapy").Results:Using the improved following-therapy,the control rate of malignant pleural effusion increased:CR+PR,79.07%>65.79%(P<0.05),and the incidence rate of the encapsulated pleural effusion that would impact on patient’s respiratory faction decreased.Conclusion:Giving chemotherapy after closed-drainage or immediately after taking out pleural effusion everyday,then giving biotherapy after pleural effusion had been controlled,the curative effect would be enhanced and the side-reaction would be reduced.展开更多
