Frontiers in Chemistry 2025 September 11 [Link] Lichang Lei, Hongjiao Zi, ShaoLei Kang, Hui Duan, Zhenghua Zhang, Chao Gao, Ruoyun Xu, Dan Han Abstract Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) holds significant promise for the treatment of solid tumors, however, its diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) remains underexplored. To…
Read MorePotential advantage of magnetic resonance imaging in detecting thoracic wall infiltration in pleural mesothelioma: A retrospective single-center analysis
JTCVS Open 2024 October 22 [Link] Isabel Barreto, Sabine Franckenberg, Thomas Frauenfelder, Isabelle Opitz, Olivia Lauk Abstract Objectives: Thoracic wall infiltration in pleural mesothelioma determines the extent of resection and can be an important prognostic factor. Currently, standardized imaging for restaging after neoadjuvant systemic therapy comprises contrast-enhanced computed tomography or positron emission tomography. Additional thoracic…
Read MoreCase report: Radiological features of a case of desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma of peritoneum
Frontiers in Oncology 2024 December 11 [Link] Jingchao Wang, Heping Deng Abstract Desmoplastic malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) is an extremely rare and aggressive subtype of sarcomatoid malignant mesothelioma, originating from the mesothelial lining of body cavities. It is characterized by significant local invasiveness and poor prognosis. The nonspecific symptoms of DMPM often result in delayed…

BMC Medial Imaging 2023 December 14 [Link] Hai-Tao Wang, Ai-Jing Li, Ji-Yong Gao, Liang-Jiong Wang, Yu-Tao Wang, Wen-Ying Yu, Jian Zhang Abstract Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in ovarian malignant mesothelioma (OMM). Methods: The clinical and imaging data of 10 pathologically-confirmed OMM patients were analyzed…
Read MoreSurgical case report: The rare case of incidental retroperitoneal mesothelioma
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports 2023 April [Link] Yat Cheung Chung, Travis Ackermann, Yeu Sheng Ang Abstract Introduction and importance: This is a first reported case of isolated retroperitoneal mesothelioma. Most patients present with symptoms of abdominal pain, distension and weight loss. However, a minority of cases are asymptomatic and are found incidentally on…
