Radical surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma: results and prognosis

Recently, the number of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has been increasing in Japan. Thus, it is crucial to establish an effective modality for MPM. A phase II trial of multi-modality for MPM will start using Japanese patients. The paper in this journal [1] is the first report showing the feasibility of surgery for MPM using a large number of Japanese patients, offering a referral evidence of the Japanese prospective study.
