متن کاملLong term survival after trimodal therapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
PRINCIPLES Trimodal therapy results in long term survival in a small fraction of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, particularly in patients having epithelial histology, R0-resection and no nodal involvement. This study analyses the outcome after trimodal therapy including extrapleural pneumonectomy. METHODS From 2000 to 2005 41 patients with histologically verified malignant pleur...
متن کاملPrognostic factors and survival in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a lethal disease and little is known about prognostic factors. The prognostic significance of age, stage of disease, gender and histological subtype was studied in 167 new cases of cytologically (15%) or histologically (85%) proven malignant pleural mesothelioma in the Rotterdam area, during the period 1987-1989. Median survival of all patients was 242 days. Un...
