Chemotherapy treatment in malignant pleural mesothelioma: a difficult history.

abstract：Background:Thoracoscopic surgery (TS) has been used more commonly as a less invasive procedure for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than conventional thoracotomy (TH) in Japan. However, limited evidential data are available to compare the treatment efficacy of TS and TH. The purpose of this study was to r...
