Validation of genomics-based prognostic tests in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
PURPOSE Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly lethal neoplasm with limited pretreatment prognostication strategies. In this report, we examine the accuracy of a previously proposed prognostic test in an independent cohort of MPM patients. This test uses simple ratios of gene expression levels to provide a novel prognostication scheme. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Gene expression data using ...

Malignant pleural mesotheliomas are tumors originating in the serosal lining of the pleural cavities. Although these are relatively rare tumors, an increasing number of cases are anticipated over the next decade. Patients with these tumors, which are almost invariably fatal, usually have an interval of less than two years between the onset of symptoms and death. There is a well established link...

متن کاملDiagnosing malignant pleural mesothelioma.
The diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma is a difficult clinical task. A suspicion of mesothelioma should always arise, when a patient with a case history of reasonable asbestos exposure is examined for pleural effusion or pleural masses of unknown aetiology [1]. In addition to asbestos exposure a heredilory predisposing factor has been suggested to be of importance for the development o...
