Brief Summary: RATIONALE Some drugs such as bleomycin or doxycycline or other compounds like talc may help to control fluid in the chest caused by cancer It is not yet known if bleomycin doxycycline or talc is more effective in treating patients with malignant pleural effusions

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of bleomycin doxycycline or talc in treating patients with malignant pleural effusions
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare intrapleural bleomycin vs doxycycline vs talc in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion with respect to time to recurrence of the effusion II Compare these treatments with respect to the necessity for further treatment of recurrent effusions III Compare these treatments with respect to the extent of postinfusion complications including pain and dyspnea IV Compare these treatments with respect to duration of chest tube or soft catheter drainage required following pleurodesis V Compare these treatments with respect to duration of hospitalization for retreatment of malignant pleural effusion following recurrence VI Compare these treatments with respect to survival VII Compare these treatments with respect to the impact of the procedure on pain and dyspnea

OUTLINE This is a randomized trial Patients are stratified by type of drainage device and participating institution All patients are randomized to undergo pleurodesis with bleomycin doxycycline or talc by indwelling pleural catheter A second procedure is undertaken 72 hours later if pleural drainage is persistently large Patients are followed monthly for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 480 patients will be entered over 48 months
