P3.09-010 - 18 Years Single Center Experience of Surgical Resection of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma After Induction Chemotherapy (ID 10010)

- Abstract
Background:
Surgical resection of malignant pleural mesothelioma is discussed controversially. Using our data from nearly 2 decades of single center experience, and focusing on the shift from extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) to (extended) pleurectomy/decortication ((e)P/D) we compared the peri- and longterm outcomes of EPP and (e)P/D after induction chemotherapy.
Method:
In a retrospective analysis (September 1999 - June 2016) of our prospective database of mesothelioma patients 196 patients received mentioned multimodality therapy: 149 treated with EPP, 34 with eP/D and 13 with P/D. Major morbidity was defined as bleeding necessitating reoperation, patch failure, chylothorax, empyema, bronchopleural fistula (BPF), pulmonary embolism and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Result:
Both groups did not differ significantly in pT stage, hisotype, but in age and lymph node stadium. Overall 30-day and 90-day mortality were 4% and 8%, respectively. However, patients treated with (e)P/D the 30- and 90-day mortality was 0. Major morbidity was not significantly different between both groups with 37% (EPP) and 23% ((e)P/D), respectively. Patient’s characteristics, freedom from recurrence (FFR) and overall survival (OS) are demonstrated in figure 1.Figure 1
Conclusion:
Multimodality treatment with radical surgery is perfromed safely, (e)P/D known as the less invasive procedure than EPP, shows a longer OS whilst having a shorter FFR.
