Inflammation can be achieved chemically with talc, bleomycin, tetracycline or povidone iodine. It can also be achieved surgically by irritating the pleura with a rough pad to cause the inflammation. In both types chemically or surgically the layers are then brought together so they can fuse and future fluid retention can be eliminated.
After recovery, the patient could experience a marked difference in his or her ability to breathe and a lessening of a cough often associated with mesothelioma. While these palliative surgeries are not cures for mesothelioma, they might help the patient feel more comfortable and lead a more productive life.
