Abstract
Management of malignant pleural mesothelioma is still a clinical challenge. Currently, the best survival figures are described after multimodality regimen including macroscopic complete resection achieved by either extrapleural pneumonectomy or extended pleurectomy/decortication in patients selected for tumor biology, stage, and risk factors. One particular approach is to perform neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by macroscopic complete resection, which will be discussed in the following chapter.
Keywords: Extrapleural pneumonectomy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pleurectomy/decortication, thoracic surgery.
