Asbestos Burden Predicts Survival in Pleural Mesothelioma
BACKGROUND Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rapidly fatal asbestos-associated malignancy with a median survival time of <1 year following diagnosis. Treatment strategy is determined in part using known prognostic factors. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between asbestos exposure and survival outcome in MPM in an effort to advance the understanding of t...
متن کاملComment on "Effects of treatment regimens on survival in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma".
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors affecting the survival of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) according to their treatment regimens, including best supportive care (BSC), chemotherapy, surgical group and multimodality (MM) therapy. PATIENTS A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data and treatment outcomes of 400 patients ...
متن کاملEffects of combined therapies on the survival of pleural mesothelioma patients treated in Brescia, 1982-2006.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND During the 1990's, the traditional unimodal treatments (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) for malignant pleural mesothelioma started to be combined in bimodal or multimodal strategies. However, recent population-based analyses of the survival of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma indicate that even these treatments have not led to significant impr...
متن کاملTumor volume is an independent predictor of survival in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma
Background/Introduction Tumor histology and stage are predictors of survival in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The TNM classification that is widely accepted for MPM has its limitations. Significance of tumor volume, a better representation of tumor burden is not routinely determined. We hypothesized tumor volume is a better predictor of survival and complimentary to T and ...
