External radiotherapy in the management of malignant pericardial effusion
Clin Radiol.
1989 May.
Abstract
Malignant pericardial effusions that are not causing tamponade can be effectively treated by external beam irradiation--a readily available non-invasive treatment. In a consecutive series six out of eight patients achieved good palliation of their effusions as a result of this treatment.
