Target Therapy in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Hope or Mirage? - PubMed » Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare neoplasm that is typically diagnosed in a locally advanced stage, making it not eligible for radical surgery and requiring systemic treatment. Chemotherapy with platinum compounds and pemetrexed has been the only approved standard of care for approximat … Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Brief Report on Radiological Changes following Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) for Early-Stage Lung Tumors: A Pictorial Essay » Distinctive patterns of early and late benign fibrosis are commonly observed after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for lung malignancies. These changes on computed tomography scans need to be distinguished from so-called high-risk radiological features, which can be associated with a higher risk for tumor recurrence. This pictorial report illustrates the different radiological changes seen after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy delivered by using volumetric modulated radiotherapy, a technique that is being increasingly used in clinical care.

Circulating complement component 4d (C4d) correlates with tumor volume, chemotherapeutic response and survival in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma - PubMed » Only limited information is available on the role of complement activation in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Thus, we investigated the circulating and tissue levels of the complement component 4d (C4d) in MPM. Plasma samples from 55 MPM patients, 21 healthy volunteers (HV) and 14 patients wit … Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Organoids as a Model for Precision Medicine in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Where Are We Today? » Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an extremely lethal cancer, notoriously known for its limited treatment options, lack of targeted therapies, and catastrophic survival rates. MPM tumors are highly heterogeneous and exhibit substantial variance… Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
