What is Mesothelioma?
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) results from neoplastic transformation of mesothelial cells (i.e. cancer). Past asbestos exposure represents the major risk factor for MPM, as the link between asbestos fibres and MPM has been largely proved by epidemiological and experimental studies.
Diagnosis of Mesothelioma
The diagnosis of epithelial type mesothelioma can be established in most cases. Several mesotheliomas, however, especially rare subtypes, and sarcomatoid, desmoplastic, and poorly differentiated mesotheliomas continue to present diagnostic challenges.
Current Mesothelioma Treatment
Malignant pleural mesothelioma continues to be a challenging clinical problem.
