A randomized clinical study to compare intrapleural infusion with intravenous infusion of bevacizumab in the management of malignant pleural effusion in patients with non ‐small‐cell lung cancer
ConclusionsBevacizumab intrapleural infusion had higher efficiency and higher safety than intravenous infusion in the management of malignant pleural effusion caused by NSCLC. The decreased level of serum VEGF at 72 hours after bevacizumab treatment was closely related to the response rate and duration of the response of pleural effusion.
