Use of Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) Staining to Separate Sarcomatoid Malignant Mesotheliomas From Benign Mesothelial Reactions

Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine 2020 February [Link] Fatemeh Derakhshan, Diana Ionescu, Simon Cheung, Andrew Churg Abstract Context.—: The separation of benign from malignant mesothelial proliferations is a difficult morphologic problem. Some mesotheliomas stain for programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Objective.—: To determine whether PD-L1 staining can separate mesotheliomas from reactive mesothelial proliferations (RMPs). Design.—: […]

Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) with the “Universal” CTC-Chip and An Anti-Podoplanin Antibody NZ-1.2.

Cells 2020 April 5 [Link] Kuwata T, Yoneda K, Mori M, Kanayama M, Kuroda K, Kaneko MK, Kato Y, Tanaka F Abstract Circulating tumor cell (CTC) is a potentially useful surrogate of micro-metastasis, but detection of rare tumor cells contaminated in a vast majority of normal hematologic cells remains technical challenges. To achieve effective detection […]

Malignant mesothelioma following repeated exposures to cosmetic talc: A case series of 75 patients.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine 2020 March 16 [Link] Emory TS, Maddox JC, Kradin RL Abstract BACKGROUND: Asbestos is the primary known cause of malignant mesothelioma. Some cosmetic talc products have been shown to contain asbestos. Recently, repeated exposures to cosmetic talc have been implicated as a cause of mesothelioma. METHODS: Seventy-five individuals (64 females; […]
