Twice as Effective? Pressurized Intra-Thoracic Aerosol Chemotherapy: New Frontiers in Pleural Mesothelioma

Pressurized intra-thoracic aerosol chemotherapy (PITAC) is a novel and promising strategy for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). PITAC enables effective pleurodesis while potentially exerting an antineoplastic effect by delivering chemotherapeutic agents as a therapeutic aerosol into...
