tetracycline and Rectal-Neoplasms

The treatment of 15 patients with neoplastic pleurisy and 25 with spontaneous pneumothorax occurring for the second time is described. All were given endopleural tetracycline therapy for symphyseal purposes. In the neoplastic pleurisy cases, the treatment reduced the number of thoracenteses required. In only 1 case did spontaneous pneumothorax recur a short time after treatment.
