Extrapleural pneumonectomy in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Standard treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has not been proved yet. However, it has been recognized that extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) is a treatment of choice for epithelial MPM when combined with adjuvant therapies though EPP may frequently cause fetal complications. We report 5 cases of MPM with EPP, including 1 with good prognosis. Sixteen patients with MPM were admitted...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2012;1(4):533 www.annalscts.com This video demonstration represents our first attempt at video-assisted thoracoscopic extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for a 51-year-old patient with right-sided malignant pleural mesothelioma following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Video 1). While originating as an initial inspection for a possible radical decortication, it was apparent that th...

BACKGROUND This study assessed perioperative outcome and long-term survival in a large series of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) to identify prognostic factors allowing better patient selection. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from nine referral centers for thoracic surgery in Italy. Perioperative outcome and survival data ...
متن کاملExtrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is associated with a very poor prognosis. Unlike other solid tumors, any type of planned surgery for MPM would be cytoreductive rather than radical. There are two types of surgery for MPM. Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) involves en bloc resection of the lung, pleura, pericardium, and diaphragm. Pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) is a lung-sparing surgery that...
متن کاملHemithoracic intensity-modulated radiotherapy using helical tomotherapy for patients after extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Postoperative hemithoracic irradiation is regarded as an important part of the curative treatment for resectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Because the clinical target volume in postoperative MPM is irregular and surrounded by dose-limiting critical structures, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is thought to be suitable. However, postoperative hemithoracic IMRT remains exp...
