Read MoreBiomarkers to predict the benefits of immune‑checkpoint blockade‑based therapy in patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (Review)
Oncology Letters 2024 October 9 [Link] Chunhong Wang, Yan Zhao, Wanru Liang Abstract Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) is a type of rare and highly lethal tumor. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-based therapy has shown encouraging clinical activity for MPeM. However, no definitive biomarkers have been identified for predicting which patients with MPeM will benefit from ICB-based…

Read MoreSystemic Therapy Options for Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Journal of the Comprehensive Cancer Network 2024 October [Link] Tawee Tanvetyanon, George R Simon Abstract Peritoneal mesothelioma is an uncommon malignancy affecting approximately 300 new patients annually in the United States. Due to its low incidence, prospective clinical trials specific to this disease are scant. Recommendations regarding systemic therapy are mostly extrapolated from clinical trials…
