External radiotherapy in the management of malignant pericardial effusion

D J Fairlamb. Clin Radiol. 1989 May.

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.
