Summary
The primary goal of this study is to compare well-defined pleural effusion management success
outcomes in patients with malignant or paramalignant pleural effusions who were treated with
Indwelling pleural catheter insertion compared with those treated with siver nitrate
pleurodesis. It is also to demonstrate the effectiveness of silver nitrate pleurodesis. It is
also important to evaluate frequent adverse events of silver nitrate pleurodesis in patients
