Malignant Mesothelioma – Current Approaches to a Difficult Problem
Malignant Mesothelioma – Current Approaches to a Difficult Problem Raja M Flores, MD Thoracic Surgery Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center 1 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. 3 Survival by Presentation P=0.020 P=0.020 Flores et al JTO, 2007 2(10): 957-65 4 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Diagnosis • Thoracentesis (cytology) (26%) • Closed pleural biopsy (21%) • Open pleural biopsy / VATS (98%) Boutin and Rey, Cancer, 1994 5 6 7 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Versus Adenocarcinoma Histology PAS stain Mucicarmine Meso Neg Neg Adeno Pos Pos Immunostaining CEA LeuM-1 Vimentin Cytokeratin Calretinin Neg Neg Pos Pos Pos Pos(75%) Pos Neg Neg Neg 8 adenocarcinoma mesothelioma 9 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma is NOT a frozen section diagnosis 10 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 Rusch, Chest 1995 13 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma AJCC Staging System • Stage I – Ia – Ib • Stage II • Stage III • Stage IV T1aN0M0 T1bN0M0 T2N0M0 Any T3M0 Any N1M0 Any N2M0 Any T4 Any N3 Rusch, Chest 1995 Any M1 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Surgical Options • • • • • Observation Talc Pleurodesis Palliative pleurectomy Pleurectomy/Decortication Extrapleural Pneumonectomy 30 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Supportive care only Law Hulks Ruffie Lewis # patients 64 68 176 14 median survival (mo.) 18 7.0 6.8 9.6 31 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) 33 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Mortality of Extrapleural Pneumonectomy # of patients Balmer Butchart Faber Rusch Sugarbaker Flores 1974 1976 1994 1999 1999 2007 17 29 40 115 183 208 Op.

JTCVS 84:834-842, 1982 37 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Brachytherapy and External Beam Radiotherapy • 1976- 1988 • Total 105 patients • Surgery - Pleurectomy – 54 patients – implants and external beam (192Ir, 32P) – 41 patients – external beam • Survival – Radioactive implants : MS- 9.9 months – No radioactive implants: MS- 22.5 months • Local failure Myhalchek et al Endocurie Hypertherm Oncol 1989;5:245 abstr 38 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Intrapleural Cisplatin • 1989 – 1992 • 36 patients enrolled • 28 had pleurectomy and IP (Cisplatin 100mg/m2 and mitomycin8mg/m2) • 23 patients had IP and systemic chemotherapy • Extrapleurals were excluded Rusch et al. J Clin Oncol 1994, 12:1156-1163 39 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Intrapleural Cisplatin • MS – 17 months • Complications – 1 postoperative death (UGI bleed, then MSOF) – 2 grade 4 renal failure – 1 postoperative hemorrhage requiring a pneumonectomy – 1 myocardial infarction Rusch et al. J Clin Oncol 1994, 12:1156-1163 40 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Intrapleural Cisplatin • Feasible • Potential for serious toxicity • Local control remains the main problem (80%) Rusch et al. J Clin Oncol 1994, 12:1156-1163 41 Phase I Trial • Sugarbaker – 44/61 patients found to be resectable. Pleurectomy/Decortication and 1 hour cisplatin lavage. Dose escalation study (50-250). • Operative Mortality – 11% • Overall Median survival – 13 months • Epithelioid – 19 months Richards,2006 JCO;24:1561-1567 42 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Local control • • • • • • Brachytherapy Photodynamic therapy Postoperative Intrapleural chemotherapy Intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy Immunotherapy Gene therapy • Surgery is the Foundation 43 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) 46 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Induction chemotherapy followed by EPP and high dose radiotherapy • • • • • • 2002-2003 19 patients with stage III-IV disease Gemcitabine and cisplatin 4 cycles Repeat radiologic imaging Extrapleural pneumonectomy High dose external beam radiation (5400 rads) Flores et al. J Thorac Oncol 2006:289-295 47 Flores et al. J Thorac Oncol 2006:289-295 48 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Pemetrexed (ALIMTA) • Multi-targeted antifolate • 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 50 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Current Multimodality Approach “Locally advanced” (T3 or N2) Induction Chemotherapy Extrapleural Pneumonectomy Hemithoracic Radiation Flores et al.
