Perspectives on the Treatment of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Cette étude passe en revue les stratégies thérapeutiques pour traiter les patients atteints d'un mésothéliome pleural malin
Most mesotheliomas originate in the pleura and are due to asbestos exposure. The incidence is decreasing somewhat with asbestos remediation, but mortality remains high in part because of late diagnosis and treatment resistance. Pemetrexed–cisplatin and immune checkpoint inhibitors modestly extend survival.
