Living with pleural mesothelioma can make breathing difficult when fluid builds up around the lungs. This fluid buildup, called pleural effusion, can cause pressure, discomfort, and shortness of breath—but there are ways doctors may help relieve it. In this video, we explain three medical procedures used to drain pleural effusion and help some mesothelioma patients breathe more comfortably. One option may even help prevent the fluid from coming back. You’ll learn how each procedure works, when it’s typically used, and what patients and caregivers should know when discussing options with their care team.
