Malignant Mesothelioma: Epidemiology
, 2014 Primary malignant neoplasms of the pleura and peritoneum originate from the mesothelial cells that line the respective cavities. The majority of these tumors are mesotheliomas. Mesothelioma is a relatively rare but very severe neoplasm, Exposure to asbestos (primarily on the workplace) is the main cause of mesothelioma.

AbstractMalignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumour that commonly affects the mesothelial surfaces of the pleural and peritoneal cavities, and occasionally, the tunica vaginalis and the pericardium. Formerly a rare tumour, MM is increasing in incidence in Australia due to the heavy nationwide use of asbestos from 1940 until the 1980s.

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive, treatment-resistant tumour, which is increasing in frequency throughout the world. Although the main risk factor is asbestos exposure, a virus, simian virus 40 (SV40), could have a role. Mesothelioma has an unusual molecular pathology with loss of tumour suppressor genes being the predominant pattern of lesions,

Immunocytochemistry of malignant mesothelioma: OV632 as a marker of malignant mesothelioma
The Journal of Pathology, 1991AbstractIn pleural of ascitic effusions the cytomorphological distinction of adenocarcinoma cells, reactive mesothelial cells, and malignant mesothelioma cells often causes a diagnostic dilemma. The value of immunocytochemistry was investigated on cytological smears of 24 well‐established cases of malignant mesothelioma, a selected series of 31 ...

Pathogenesis of Malignant Mesothelioma
Clinical Lung Cancer, 2004Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a very aggressive tumor that is caused by environmental, biologic, and genetic factors. Among these factors, asbestos plays a major role. The link between asbestos and MM has been firmly established through numerous epidemiologic studies conducted during the past 40 years.

Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Tumori Journal, 1982Eight cases of peritoneal malignant mesothelioma observed at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milan from 1972 to 1978 are reported. The clinical features of the cases clearly point out the diagnostic difficulties, the inadequacy of the treatment and the poor prognosis of this neoplasia.

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2005Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an uncommon tumor; only about 3000 cases are diagnosed annually in the United States. Cases were described early in the 20th century, but their relationship to asbestos exposure was not documented until 1960. Since then, the incidence has appeared to increase, and numerous epidemiologic studies have confirmed that ...
