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

Multiplex Soluble Biomarker Analysis from Pleural Effusion
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly aggressive and therapy resistant pleural malignancy that is caused by asbestos exposure. MPM is associated with poor prognosis and a short patient survival.

Integrative Molecular Characterization of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly lethal cancer of the lining of the chest cavity. To expand our understanding of MPM, we conducted a comprehensive integrated genomic study, including the most detailed analysis of BAP1 alterations to date.

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