Can malignant and inflammatory pleural effusions in dogs be distinguished using computed tomography [PDF]

, 2017
Computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality used to investigate human patients with suspected malignant or inflammatory pleural effusion, but there is a lack of information about the clinical use of this test in dogs.

Assessment of the value of mesothelin in differentiating between different pleural malignancies by different interventional modalities

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2022
Context Malignant mesothelioma is an insidious neoplasm, with malignant pleural mesothelioma as the most common type, which is characterized by poor prognosis in most patients owing to late presentation. The use of noninvasive markers for early diagnosis

Survival prediction in mesothelioma using a scalable lasso regression model: instructions for use and initial performance using clinical predictors [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Accurate prognostication is difficult in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We developed a set of robust computational models to quantify the prognostic value of routinely available clinical data, which form the basis of published MPM ...

Genomic profiling of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma reveals recurrent alterations in epigenetic regulatory genes BAP1, SETD2, and DDX3X. [PDF]

, 2017
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare cancer that arises from the mesothelial cells that line the pleural cavity and less commonly from the peritoneal lining of the abdomen and pelvis.

Genetic alterations of malignant pleural mesothelioma: association with tumor heterogeneity and overall survival

Molecular Oncology, 2020
Development of precision medicine for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) requires a deep knowledge of tumor heterogeneity. Histologic and molecular classifications and histo‐molecular gradients have been proposed to describe heterogeneity, but a deeper

Early Contrast Enhancement: a novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging biomarker of pleural malignancy [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Pleural Malignancy (PM) is often occult on subjective radiological assessment. We sought to define a novel, semi-objective Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) biomarker of PM, targeted to increased tumour microvessel density (MVD) and ...
