Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm that arises from the mesothelial lining of the pleura. MPM is the most common type of mesothelioma, accounting for about 90% of cases. 1 Treatments include surgical resection, radiation, and systemic chemotherapy. Most patients present with either advanced disease or are not surgical candidates as a result of comorbidities or advanced age. Prognosis is generally poor, with an overall 5-year survival rate of 8.5% 2 and median overall survival for untreated MPM of less than a year. 3 Histologic subtypes of MPM include epithelioid, sarcomatoid (including desmoplastic and lymphohistiocytic variants), and mixed (biphasic). Epithelioid histology is associated with a more favorable prognosis and response to therapy, occurring in 50% to 60% of patients. The sarcomatoid subtype has a lower chance of response to therapy and occurs in 20% of patients. 4 Other significant predictors associated with improved survival in mesothelioma include female gender, age under 45, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in addition to surgery versus surgery alone, no smoking history, and no known asbestos exposure history. 5
