  schema:description "When cancer causes fluid to build up in the abdomen, draining it through a thin tube (paracentesis) quickly relieves bloating and breathlessness, often as a day case. Treating the cancer can slow it down. If the fluid keeps coming back, a soft tube can be left in place so it can be drained at home in small amounts. The evidence for the details of drainage is weak, so practice varies."@en ;
