Another interesting study is called, "Palliative surgical debulking in malignant mesothelioma : Predictors of survival and symptom control" by A. E. Martin-Ucara, J. G. Edwardsa, A. Rengajarana, S. Mullerb and D. A. Waller, - Department of Thoracic Surgery, Glenfield Hospital, Groby Road, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Objective: Malignant mesothelioma (MM) typically presents at an advanced stage. In the UK surgical intervention has been mostly reserved for tissue diagnosis or chemical pleurodesis. However, the role of debulking surgery in symptom control has not been fully explored. Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 51 consecutive patients presenting with MM underwent palliative surgical debulking for symptomatic relief (all patients presented with dyspnoea, 39 also had pain and two had a co-existing pleural empyema). Patients with early disease who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy were excluded. The treatment aims were pleural drainage, lung re-expansion, pleurodesis and pleural debulking for symptom control. If the lung re-expanded after drainage of the effusion a subtotal parietal pleurectomy was performed via Video Assisted Thoracic...more

Laparoscopy should be considered a standard part of prethoracotomy staging in this subset of patients."Origin of Connective Tissue Type Mesotheliomas from Multipotential...more
