SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
With Boutin's method, talc pou- drage is performed during thoracoscopy, and certainly, if a thoracoscopy is used to establish the diagnosis of a malignant pleural effusion, it is appro- priate to attempt to induce a pleurodesis with talc at the time of the diag- nostic procedure.
