Respirology, 2005
Abstract:  Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) results from neoplastic transformation of mesothelial cells. Past asbestos exposure represents the major risk factor for MPM, as the link between asbestos fibres and MPM has been largely proved by epidemiological and experimental studies.

The Staging of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2020
Staging of malignant pleural mesothelioma has been challenging because of a paucity of cases and poor survival. At least 5 staging systems were proposed before 1990 until the first consensus system was published in 1995. This system used tumor, node, metastasis designations and borrowed heavily from parenchymal lung cancer descriptors.
