Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Clinical Presentation
•
•
•
•
•
Insidious and nonspecific
Dyspnea and chest pain
Pleural effusion
Cough
Bilateral involvement ~ 5%
2
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Natural Progression
• Blunting costophrenic angle
• Pleura thickens encasing lung
• Pleural rind fixes the lung , diaphragmatic and
intercostal muscles – “Frozen Chest”
• Dyspnea out of proportion to radiologic
findings
• Shunting, hypoxia, Infection, sepsis, death
• Adjacent Structures- Dysphagia, SVC
syndrome, etc.

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Problems with Natural History
• Diagnostic problems - newer techniques of
immunohistochemistry and electron
microscopy
• Imprecise staging - Most studies prior to 1985
(No CT scan)
• Lack of a well defined, universally applicable,
staging system
11
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
T status
• T1- T1a- tumor limited to ipsilateral pleura,
no involvement of visceral pleura
T1b- involvement of visceral pleura
• T2- Involvement of diaphragmatic muscle ,
invasion of lung parenchyma
• T3- Locally advanced but potentially
resectable tumor (i.e. pericardium)
• T4- Locally advanced but potentially
unresectable tumor
Rusch, Chest 1995
12
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
N status
• N0- no regional lymph node involvement
• N1- Metastasis in the ipsilateral
bronchopulmonary or hilar lymph nodes
• N2- Metastasis in the mediastinal lymph nodes
• N3- contralateral mediastinal or
supraclavicular lymph nodes

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
To treat or not to treat ?
Nihilistic view stems from:
1. Misconception about surgical mortality with
extrapleural pneumonectomy
2. Poor overall survival based upon old
retrospective studies on heterogeneous patient
populations
3. Lack of experience with this uncommon
malignancy
32
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Surgical History
• 1976 – Butchart, Thorax, 31% mortality with EPP
• Dismal survival in surgically treated patients. Median
survival of 6 months
– Poor patient selection
– Technique
– Diagnosis and Staging (no immunohistochemistry
or EM)
– Imaging ( No CT scan)

Intrapleural Cisplatin
• 1989 – 1992
• 36 patients enrolled
• 28 had pleurectomy and IP (Cisplatin
100mg/m2 and mitomycin8mg/m2)

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Pattern of Recurrence
• Baldini et al. Ann Thorac Surg 1997
– 46 patients extrapleural pneumonectomy, CAP
chemotherapy, external beam radiotherapy (3000
Gy)
– Most common site of recurrence was locally,16
patients (35%) total. 67% of all recurrences
• Problem – Local recurrence after surgical
resection.
44
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Local Control
• Rusch et al. A phase II trial of surgical resection
(EPP) and high dose radiation for malignant
pleural mesothelioma.
JTCVS 2001:122:788-95
• 54 Gy to hemithorax
• 54 patients underwent EPP and adjuvant
radiation.
45
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Local control
• Locoregional only – 2
• Distant only – 30
• Locoregional and distant – 5
• Adequate local control (~ 10%) achieved with
EPP and high dose adjuvant radiotherapy
(5400)

• Vogelzang et al, JCO
• Phase III study comparing Premetrexed/Cisplatin
versus cisplatin alone.
• 448 patients randomized
• Primary endpoint: survival
• 80% power to detect a hazard ration of .67 based
upon alpha= 0.05, 2 sided logrank test
49
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Pemetrexed (ALIMTA)
• Overall survival improved 12.1 versus 9.3
months
• Overall response rate 41% versus 17%
• Improved pulmonary function tests
• Improvement in dyspnea and pain

EPP versus P/D in MPM
Conclusions
• Diagnosis requires special stains / EM
• Surgical mortality for EPP acceptable
• EPP and P/D similar survival – type of surgery
dictated by intra-operative findings
• If an R1 resection is not possible with P/D then
an EPP is the procedure of choice
• If an R2 resection is inevitable at surgical
exploration then an EPP should not be
performed
• Decision about procedure type should consider
multimodality therapy and protocol options

EPP versus P/D in MPM
• The optimal procedure for surgical
resection is controversial
• Studies fail to demonstrate significant
differences in survival due to small
numbers of patients
• A multi-institutional study was
performed to increase statistical power
Flores et al JTCVS, 2008 135: 620-6
94
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Role of EPP
• 1985-1988
• Lung cancer study group: multi-institutional trial
• 83 patients
– Potentially completely resectable disease by CT
– FEV1 > 1
– Medically suitable
• EPP -20, P/D - 26, limited or no resection - 37
Rusch et al JTCVS 1991;102:1-9
95
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Systemic control
• Chemotherapy
– Carboplatin / taxol (ineffective)
– Cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, cisplatin (CAP)
(ineffective)
• Byrne et al, JCO, 1999
– Gemcitabine and cisplatin
– 21 patients
– 4 cycles
– 47% response rate
96
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Role of EPP
• Recurrence free survival best for EPP
• Overall Survival (p>0.05)
– EPP: MS - 14 mos.
– P/D: MS - 10 mos.
– No surgery: MS - 7 mos.
• EPP better at local control but still not great, and
systemic disease is seen in more cases
