The Diagnosis of Pleural Tumors Other Than Mesothelioma.
Summary of "The Diagnosis of Pleural Tumors Other Than Mesothelioma."
- Pleural pathology has been dominated by discussions relating to the diagnosis, prognosis, etiology, and management of malignant mesothelioma. However, there exists a diverse group of other neoplasms that involve the pleura; the most common by far is metastatic carcinoma, usually of pulmonary origin. Other metastatic tumors of varied histogenesis do occur but are less common. Primary pleural neoplasms other than diffuse malignant mesothelioma are either uncommon or rare and have received less attention.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignancy with a prognosis of
Neoantigenic potential of complex chromosomal rearrangements in mesothelioma.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a disease primarily associated with exposure to the carcinogen asbestos. Whereas other carcinogen-related tumors are associated with a high tumor mutation burden, mes...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumour strongly associated with asbestos exposure. Patients are usually diagnosed when current treatments have limited benefits, highlighting the ...
Patients diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) face a poor prognosis, with an overall survival plateauing at a median of one year. This can be explained by difficulties in early diagnosi...
Single-drug checkpoint inhibition has shown efficacy in patients with recurrent malignant pleural mesothelioma. Here, we assessed the safety and efficacy of the combination of nivolumab, an anti-progr...

This Phase I study will evaluate the safety of two doses of BG00001. Eligible subjects will have: - malignant pleural mesothelioma, or - pleural effusions who have progresse...
This research study is evaluating a new method for determining stage and prognosis of individuals with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Liposomal doxorubicin consists on doxorubicin encapsulated in liposomes that are composed of phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol. Liposomal doxorubicin can extravasate into tumors with a...
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Pleural Effusion
Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces. It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself.
Solitary Fibrous Tumor, Pleural
A rare neoplasm, usually benign, derived from mesenchymal fibroblasts located in the submesothelial lining of the PLEURA. It spite of its various synonyms, it has no features of mesothelial cells and is not related to malignant MESOTHELIOMA or asbestos exposure.
Mesothelioma
A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Pleural Effusion, Malignant
Presence of fluid in the PLEURAL CAVITY as a complication of malignant disease. Malignant pleural effusions often contain actual malignant cells.
Mesothelioma, Cystic
A peritoneal mesothelioma affecting mainly young females and producing cysts of variable size and number lined by a single layer of benign mesothelial cells. The disease follows a benign course and is compatible with a normal life expectancy, requiring occasionally partial excision or decompression for relief of pain or other symptoms. Malignant potential is exceptional. (From Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1345)
