Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, which arises predominantly in the pleural lining of the thoracic cavity or, less commonly, in the peritoneum, pericardium or tunica vaginalis. The incidence of mesothelioma increased globally during the late twentieth century, correlating with the use of asbestos, and it continues to rise ...

[Malignant pleural mesothelioma].
Minerva chirurgica, 2001Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a severe disease closely associated with asbestos exposure, at work or environmental. Its incidence has risen for some decades and it's expected to peak between 2010 and 2020. Up today, no treatment has been demonstrated as effective in influencing disease-related survival and the median prognosis ranges between 9 and ...

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1991
Pleural mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors that can be classified as localized or diffuse. Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas are invariably malignant. Although the frequency is low in the general population, it is more common in persons with a heavy occupational exposure to asbestos, and is considered as a signal tumor to asbestos exposure with medicolegal ...

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Current Oncology Reports, 2011Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a relatively rare thoracic malignancy accounting for about 2000-3000 new cases per year. This cancer has been increasing in incidence and is strongly associated with asbestos exposure. Also, it is characterized by insidious growth and clinical presentation at an advanced stage of disease.

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 ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1999
The increasing incidence of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), better knowledge of its pathogenesis with a strong implication of asbestos fibers, and some promising therapeutic results have led to a new interest in the management of patients with this disease.

Cytopathology of Pleural Mesotheliomas
Pathology Patterns Reviews, 2000Pleural mesothelioma is a rare and highly malignant tumor that has shown increasing incidence. In approximately 90% of patients the tumor manifests initially as recurrent, unilateral, bloody pleural effusions; in the remaining 10% of patients the tumor is detected by chest radiography.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma
Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2000Despite innumerable trials of surgery, radiotherapy, and countless chemotherapeutic drugs, it is unclear whether any intervention has had a significant impact on more than a few highly selected patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Because most patients die of respiratory failure from extensive disease progression in the thorax, treatment ...

Malignant pleural mesothelioma
BMJ Case ReportsMalignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive tumour of the pleura, commonly linked to asbestos exposure. However, its diagnosis is challenging, especially without known exposure. We present the case of a woman in her early 70s with no history of asbestos exposure, who presented with progressive breathlessness and left-sided chest pain ...
