The Role of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Resectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma – An Institutional and National Analysis.
CONCLUSION: In this intention-to-treat study, NAC was associated with worse post-resection survival compared to IR in patients with MPM. The risks and benefits of induction therapy should be weighed before offering it to patients with resectable MPM.February 14, 2020

Deep learning-based segmentation of malignant pleural mesothelioma tumor on computed tomography scans: application to scans demonstrating pleural effusion.
The present method achieved a median DSC of 0. 690 on the tumor and effusion test set and achieved significantly higher performance on both test sets when compared with a previous deep learning-based segmentation method for mesothelioma.February 13, 2020

Predictors and Outcomes of Surgery in Peritoneal Mesothelioma: an Analysis of 2000 Patients from the National Cancer Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients selected for and treated with radical surgery had significantly better overall survival compared with those receiving nonsurgical treatment. Patients newly diagnosed with DMPM should be evaluated for the possibility of receiving radical surgery.February 11, 2020

Clinical and surgical outcomes of patients with peritoneal mesothelioma discussed at a monthly national multidisciplinary team video-conference meeting.
The median follow-up for the whole cohort was 18·7 months, and the 2-year survival rate from time of first review at the national PM MDT was 68·3 per cent. CONCLUSION: The centralized national PM MDT was effective at selecting patients suitable for CRS and HIPEC, reporting a good outcome from patient selection.February 10, 2020

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in malignant pleural mesothelioma: diagnostic and prognostic performance and its correlation to pathological results.
In the light of such results, we highlight that a low fluorodeoxyglucose uptake might be observed in more than 10% MPMs, especially in early-stage tumours affecting elderly patients. Furthermore, high SUVmax values significantly correlated with a worse prognosis.February 7, 2020

Sensitivity of mesothelioma cells to PARP inhibitors is not dependent on BAP1 but is enhanced by temozolomide in cells with high-Schlafen 11and low-MGMT expression.
CONCLUSIONS: BAP1 status does not determine sensitivity to PARPIs in patient-derived mesothelioma cell-lines. Combination of PARPI with TMZ may be beneficial for patients whose tumors have high SLFN11 and low or no MGMT expression.February 6, 2020

Microenvironment-Dependent Gradient of CTL Exhaustion in the AE17sOVA Murine Mesothelioma Tumor Model.
Importantly, we also show that peripheral tumor-specific T cells have a unique expression profile compared to exhausted tumor-infiltrating CTL at a late-stage of tumor progression in mice. Together, these data suggest that greater emphasis should be placed on understanding contributions of individual microenvironments in the development of T cell exhaustion.February 5, 2020

Indications for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with cytoreductive surgery: a systematic review.
There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS for the prevention of or for the treatment of gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis outside of a clinical trial. There is insufficient evidence to recommend HIPEC with CRS in patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma or in those with disseminated mucinous neoplasm in the appendix as a standard of care; however, these patients should be referred to HIPEC specialty centres for assessment for treatment as part of an ongoing research protocol.February 5, 2020

Clinical feature of diagnostic challenging cases for pleural biopsy in patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
8% of patients diagnosed with AMP or NSP in first VATS pleural biopsy were subsequently diagnosed with MPM due to insufficient tissue for diagnosis. Definitive diagnosis via VATS pleural biopsy is sometimes challenging in following situation; very early stage, intrathoracic inflammation and desmoplastic MPM.February 3, 2020
