Abstract:
:Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an extremely aggressive neoplasm of the pleura mainly attributable to asbestos exposure. Conventional medical, physical, and surgical treatments and their combinations are basically ineffective and just a few subjects experience some benefit. No definite guidelines can be provided in patient selection and therapeutic strategies. Currently, malignant pleural mesothelioma therapy is guided by clinical stage and patient characteristics, which are quite unreliable, rather than by the histological or molecular features of the tumor. In the present review the impact on prognosis of classic (i.e. etiology, age, gender, histology, staging), as well as relatively new clinical factors such as quality of life, positron emission tomography assessment, and occult residual disease, are firstly evaluated. In the second section of the review several biological variables and genetic markers, which have been recently recognized as the bases of the disease onset and development, are listed and discussed. There are serum and tissue markers. The latter are mainly related to cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and growth factor pathways. These novel factors may play an important role in defining the prognosis of the disease and, subsequently, may have a place in addressing therapy.
