Abstract

Objective There is an opinion that extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) is the radical treatment option for locally advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). In this report we evaluated the hypothesis that lung-sparing pleurectomy-decortication (LSPD) can be the procedure of choice in locally advanced MPM as it offers at least as good oncological results as EPP with reduced early postoperative complications and risk.
