Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the impact that Indwelling Pleural Catheters have on patients with malignant pleural effusions from a psychosocial point of view.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a baseline assessment including disease and social characteristics on the day of their Indwelling Pleural Catheter (IPC) insertion. At 2 weeks and 6-8 weeks post insertion, they will be contacted via telephone for a semi-structured interview focusing on the psychosocial impact that the IPC has had on their lives. Data surrounding the medical care of the IPC will also be collected.
