Supplementary Prognostic Variables for Pleural Mesothelioma
INTRODUCTION The staging system for malignant pleural mesothelioma is controversial.

متن کاملMalignant pleural mesothelioma: staging systems.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma has a very specific growth pattern invading the pleural surfaces and neighboring structures. For this reason precise estimation of tumor volume and description of local extension are particularly difficult. Different staging systems have been introduced, and the most widely used are discussed. Restaging of mesothelioma after induction therapy is even more complica...

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an uncommon neoplasm arising from mesothelial cells of the pleura and less commonly of the pericardium or peritoneum. The annual incidence of 3000 cases is expected to increase by more than 50% in the coming decade due to the patterns of occupational exposure to asbestos and latency period of 30–40 years [1,2].

Primary neoplasms of the pleura are rare tumors and the majority are generally mesotheliomas. Mesotheliomas are either localized and mostly benign, or diffuse and uniformly malignant neoplasms. Localised benign pulmonary mesothelioma (solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura) are originally thought to be a variant of diffuse pleural mesothelioma because they consists of a spindle cell stroma associ...
