Effect of hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy on the malignant pleural mesothelioma: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Surgery-based multimodality therapies have been used to control the malignant effusion and its recurrence in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) has been used in the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma, but the results were controversial. The aim of the current study was, therefore, to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on th...

Extrapleural 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...

The role of video assisted thoracoscopic pleurectomy/decortication in the therapeutic management of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

OBJECTIVE Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) has high mortality and morbidity; radical pleurectomy decortication (P/D) carries less mortality but still significant morbidity. This surgery is not suitable for many patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) for whom video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) offers a minimally invasive alternative. We aimed to assess the role of VATS decorticat...
