Predicting Cancer Using Supervised Machine Learning: Mesothelioma
Conclusion: This study confirms that data obtained from biopsy and imaging tests are strong predictors of Mesothelioma but are associated with a high cost; however, they can identify Mesothelioma with optimal accuracy.July 9, 2020

Involvement of the M-CSF/IL-34/CSF-1R Pathway in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Conclusions: The M-CSF/IL-34/CSF-1R pathway seems strongly implicated in MPM and could constitute a therapeutic target to act on immunosuppression and to support immunotherapeutic strategies.July 8, 2020

Cellular Immunotherapy and Locoregional Administration of CAR T-Cells in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Currently, many other therapeutic approaches, such as cellular therapies and cancer vaccines are investigated that could induce a tumor-specific immune response and increase of the number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. In this review we will discuss these novel treatment approaches for MPM.July 7, 2020

Genomic Profiling of Multiple Primary Cancers Including Synchronous Lung Adenocarcinoma and Bilateral Malignant Mesotheliomas: Identification of a Novel BAP1 Germline Variant
Multiple BAP1-deficient cancers that developed in a single patient suggest the newly identified germline variant of BAP1 gene to be pathogenic and this case expands the clinical spectrum of BAP1-tumor predisposition syndrome. Screening for BAP1 status is highly recommended in cases with a similar combination of cancers.July 6, 2020

Secondary Renal Amyloidosis Associated With Asbestos-Related Pleuropulmonary Diseases
To our knowledge, this is the first case to present with secondary amyloidosis. Kidney biopsy should be considered for patients with existing asbestos-related pleuropulmonary diseases who have urinary abnormalities or renal dysfunction, to clarify the incidence and pathophysiology of renal manifestations.July 2, 2020

NTRK and ALK Rearrangements in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma, Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumours and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Conclusions: To our knowledge, we report for the first time NTRK and ALK rearrangements in a small subset of MPM. An ALK rearrangement was also detected in lung intermediate-grade NET (or atypical carcinoid). Our data suggest that IHC could be a useful screening test in such patients to ensure that all therapeutic strategies including targeted therapy are utilized.July 1, 2020

Diagnosis of a Primary Pericardial Mesothelioma by the Combination of Conventional Echocardiography and Contrast Echocardiography
In conclusion, the combination of conventional echocardiography and contrast echocardiography plays a significant role in diagnosing primary pericardial mesothelioma. Comprehensive evaluation and accurately preoperative diagnosis are important to exclude certain tumours that do not require surgery.June 30, 2020
