Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Pleurectomy for Malignant Pleural Effusion Caused by Breast Carcinoma

利用胸腔鏡施行肋膜剝離術來治療因乳癌轉移所併發的惡性肋膜積水

摘要


當肋膜積水發生在有乳癌病史的病人時,需要我們通盤的檢查及鑑別診斷。一旦發現為是因乳癌惡性的轉移,縱使其病況癒後不佳,也應積極的治療以減緩病人的痛苦。目前標準的治療辦法是以胸管引流再加上各種粘黏術治療為主,但是成效不甚理想。此類病人若施行開胸手術作胸腔肋膜剝離術,其造成的肋膜粘黏十分有效,可降低惡性肋膜積水的復發率。但由於高度的手術併發症及手術死亡率,使得這種手術在此病危的病人,難以施行。我們認為如果用胸腔鏡替代開胸手術作肋膜剝離術,來治療這些因乳癌併發惡性肋膜積水的病患,應可避免傳統開胸手術的缺點,並保存肋膜剝離術低復發率的優點。在此提出一病例,是利用電視輔助胸腔鏡作肋膜剝離術,來治療因乳癌轉移引發兩側惡性肋膜積水之病患,因有良好之療效,提出與各位分享。

Malignant pleural effusion caused by breast carcinoma requires a suitable and palliative treatment. Tube thoracostomy with chemical pleurodesis is considered a standard method although the effect has not been satisfactory. Parietal pleurectomy using thoracotomy is highly effective and has been advocated in some reports, but the high operative morbidity and mortality in these moribund patients limits its performance. We adopted video-assisted thoracoscopic pleurectomy (VATP) to treat the malignant pleural effusion of a patient with breast carcinoma, to avoid the usual complications of thoracotomy and to maintain the advantage of the low recurrence rate of parietal pleurectomy.
