Therapeutic radiation for lymphoma and risk of second primary malignant mesothelioma
Results data were used to identify second primary mesothelioma among patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) between 1973 and 2014. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated by radiotherapy. Multivariate adjusted associations were examined using competing risks survival analysis. RESULTS: Among 47,219 HL patients (19,538 irradiated) and 252,090 NHL patients (52,454 irradiated), second primary mesotheliomaAugust 6, 2017

The Drive For Self-Assertion And The Reality Principle In A Patient With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: The History of Giulia
In the "long wave" of group work we have learned to work with participants as well as with empty chairs, the ghosts of the dead: live traces in the mind. Whereas the mind recovers the possibility of entering into a dialogue with the feelings connected to the trauma, without bypassing them towards actions that are apparently more assertive of one's sense of Ego, the will of conciliation can reactivate a thought that is oriented towards the plane of reality.August 5, 2017

Functional image guided radiation therapy planning in volumetric modulated arc therapy for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma
CONCLUSIONS: Significant reductions in fV5, fV10, fMLD, V5, and MLD were achieved with the functional image guided VMAT plan without negative effects on other factors. LAA-based functional image guided radiation therapy planning in VMAT is a feasible method to spare the functional lung in patients with MPM.August 4, 2017

Low-dose photon irradiation induces invasiveness through the SDF-1α/CXCR4 pathway in malignant mesothelioma cells
3 Gy and 1 Gy) suppressed clonogenicity, but did not promote MPM cell migration. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the co-administration of photon irradiation and the CXCR4-antagonist AMD3100 or the use of carbon ions instead of photons may be possible solutions to reduce the risk of locoregional tumor recurrence after radiotherapy for MPM.August 1, 2017

Remote Recurrence of Benign Multicystic Peritoneal Mesothelioma
CONCLUSION: Our current case represents a woman with a remote recurrence of BPCM after initial optimal debulking surgery. Her clinical presentation of recurrence after 36 years illustrates the need for long-term follow-up and clinical suspicion in symptomatic patients with previously diagnosed BPCM.July 30, 2017

Immune checkpoint therapy of mesothelioma: Pre-clinical bases and clinical evidences
Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews 2017 July 12 [Epub ahead of print] [Link] Calabrò L, Ceresoli GL, D'Incecco A, Scherpereel A, Aerts J, Maio M Abstract Treatment with immune-checkpoint blocking monoclonal antibody (mAb) is demonstrating a significant efficacy in different tumor types. Here, we discuss the impact of this promising approach in malignant mesothelioma (MM), a still dreadful disease in which medical treatment has been set on platinum based chemotherapy for decades with unsatisfactory results.July 29, 2017
