Abstract

MPM is a highly aggressive pleural tumor associated with asbestos exposure and with limited survival despite systemic therapy. Recently immunotherapy have demonstrated survival benefit in first line. Currently there is no universally accepted surgical therapy for MPM and it remains unclear whether cytoreductive surgery prolongs survival. Some reports on selected patients demonstrated that, at the progressive disease, second round surgery is an effective strategy with minimal morbidity and promising survival rates.
