Comments Off on Predictors and Outcomes of Surgery in Peritoneal Mesothelioma: an Analysis of 2000 Patients from the National Cancer Database.
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

What is the Optimal Preoperative Imaging Modality for Assessing Peritoneal Cancer Index? An Analysis From the United States HIPEC Collaborative.
MRI appears to be superior for invasive appendiceal and peritoneal mesothelioma. External validation in a larger population is needed.January 31, 2020

Repression of oncogenic cap-mediated translation by 4Ei-10 diminishes proliferation, enhances chemosensitivity and alters expression of malignancy-related proteins in mesothelioma.
Treatment of MM with 4Ei-10 resulted in decreased cell proliferation, increased sensitivity to pemetrexed and altered expression of malignancy-related proteins. In light of these findings, suppression of translation initiation by small molecule inhibitors like 4Ei-10 alone or in combination with pemetrexed represents an encouraging strategy meriting further evaluation in the treatment of MM.January 30, 2020

Predictions of Mortality from Pleural Mesothelioma in Italy After the Ban of Asbestos Use.
The MPM epidemic in Italy is far from being concluded despite the national ban implemented in 1992, and the peak is expected in 2020-2024, in both sexes. Our results are consistent with international literature.January 29, 2020
