Abstract
Quantitative assessment is currently being explored as a means of enhancing the accuracy of clinical staging in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Tumor volume, pleural thickness and diaphragmatic thickness measurements have been shown to be prognostic in recent studies (J Natl Cancer Inst. 2018 Mar 1;110(3):258-264,J Thorac Oncol.2016 Dec: 11(12):2089-2099; Eur Respir J. 2017 Mar 15;49(3): 1601428) and could potentially provide a reproducible quantitative component of the ‘T’ descriptor for TNM staging.
