The Prognostic Role of TNM Staging Compared With Tumor Volume and Number of Pleural Sites in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Abstract
Background Age, sex, stage, histotype, and surgery are the most recognized prognostic factors for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Tumor volume (TV) was suggested as an alternative prognostic evaluation. We aimed to assess the prognostic role of Tumor, Node, Metastases (TNM) versus TV and number of pleural sites (NPS). Patients and Methods Information on stage, TV, and NPS was collected for 52 MPM patients (pts) at our institution from 2009...
