In non-small cell lung cancer and metastases in the pleural cavity, pathological effusion is formed.
Currently, the most common and effective method of obliteration of the pleural cavity is pleurodesis with talcum powder.
Talc, when it surface of the pleura, causes chemical inflammation that leads to the soldering of the lungs and chest wall. As a result, the liquid ceases to accumulate.
The addition of a therapeutic dose of afatinib to talc not only blocks effusion into the pleural cavity, but also reduces tumor and metastatic processes.
The proposed procedure for dry pleurodesis consists of one stage.
Talc is introduced into the pleural cavity in several ways:
In this Clinical Trial investigators will use the method of thoracoscopy - the blow in of talcum powder and therapeutic dose of Afatinib. Before injection, a suspension of talc and afatinib is subjected to the procedure of pharmaceutical mixing.
The operation is well tolerated by participants and lasts no more than 30 minutes. The effectiveness of the method is 90%.
