Summary

Dyspnea and reduced physical capability mean a significant reduction in quality of life of patients with advanced tumor disease. Video-assisted throacoscopic talc poudrage or alternatively placement of pleuroperitoneal shunts were retrospectively evaluated as procedures for definitive palliation.

Die Wertigkeit der videoassistierten thorakoskopischen Talkumpleurodese und der alternativen Applikation pleuroperitonealer Shunts als Verfahren zur dauerhaften Palliation dieses Zustandes wurden im Rahmen einer retrospektiven Untersuchung evaluiert.
