Malignant pleural mesothelioma is highly malignant, however, sometimes long-term survivor has been reported. In our clinical analysis, the conditions of the long-term survival were complete resection, short operative time and good PS although such patients with the conditions are estimated as approximately 20% of the patients. During establishment of the novel local therapy for the disease, siRNA interference of type II hexokinase gene was observed to suppress proliferative activity of mesothlioma cells. Inorder to establish stable gene therapy, in vitro transfection using Sendai virus vector has been tried.
