Background:
The value of surgical treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma is still an open question. We analysed a surgical series of MPM patients undergoing surgery for MPM in a single institution
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was carried out of all surgical patients treated in our Department from 2000 to February 2015. Selection criteria were age<75, performance status 0-1, non-sarcomatoid histology, pretreatment stage I-III, and fit for major surgery. The procedure of choice was extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) until 2010 and radical pleurectomy/decortication (PD) thereafter. Patients that were found to be unresectable underwent palliative pleurectomy. The IMIG system was used for pathological staging, complications were scored based on WHO-derived criteria and the Charlson Co-morbidity Index was used to stratify patients.
Results:
Radical surgery was attempted in 163 patients: 91 received EPP, 47 underwent PD (1 with macroscopic residual disease) and 25 a palliative pleurectomy. Their main features and survival outcomes are summarized in table 1. Mean age and Charlson score were higher in PD than in EPP patients. A mixed histology was more prevalent in those who received palliative pleurectomy. Complications were equally frequent after EPP and PD but less frequent after palliative surgery. However, EPP patients had a high frequency of early- and late-occurring (30-600+ days postop) pleural sepsis (p=0.002) that had an unfavorable effect on OS (p=0.035). Induction chemotherapy was associated with better outcomes in PD but not in EPP. At multivariate analysis, epithelial histology (p=0.0419, grade 3+ complications (p=0.001) and Charlson index (p=0.001) were associated with better overall survival (OS). PD was associated with better OS compared with palliative pleurectomy (p=0.05), while EPP was not. Figure 1

Conclusion:
EPP does not offer a significant benefit while PD may offer an advantage over palliative pleurectomy. The Charlson index is a major independent prognosticator in patients undergoing surgery for MPM.
