Extended pleurectomy decortication: the current role [PDF]

Translational Lung Cancer Research, 2018
Extended pleurectomy/decortication (EPD) has been formally defined but there remain technical areas of debate between practitioners. This is partly attributable to the relative rarity of this operation which is largely confined to a small number of specialist centres.

Trends in Pleural Mesothelioma Incidence and Survival in Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas in the United States

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare, aggressive cancer with significant variation in incidence based on geographic factors. Previous studies have highlighted cancer survival disparities between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan populations for other cancers; this data is largely unreported for PM.

Metachronous Lung Cancer After Pleurectomy/Decortication [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2019
Pleurectomy/decortication is a surgical procedure for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and has been proposed as an alternative to extrapleural pneumonectomy. We report a second primary lung cancer developing after pleurectomy/decortication for MPM.

Intrapleural Administration of Hypotonic Cisplatin for Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusions and Non‐Expandable Lungs

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 21, November 2025.
Intrapleural administration of hypotonic cisplatin (HPT) decreased or stabilized pleural effusions and was well tolerated in patients with malignant pleural effusion and non‐expandable lungs. ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Thoracostomy and pleurodesis are the mainstay of management for malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). However, pleurodesis may not be

Apical pleurectomy as a technique of elimination of continuous exudation after pulmonary resection due to multiple drug resistant tuberculosis

Туберкулез и болезни лёгких, 2016
The efficiency of apical pleurectomy after pulmonary resection due to multiple drug resistant tuberculosis has been analyzed. The time of exudation of pleural fluid and the rate of aerostasis have been compared.

Ki67 (MIB-1) as a Prognostic Marker for Clinical Decision Making Before Extended Pleurectomy Decortication in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

JTO Clinical and Research Reports, 2021
Introduction: The role of surgery for early stage malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) remains controversial. Current expert opinion is only to treat patients surgically as part of multimodality therapy.
