Carcinological pleura surgery, including pleurectomy and pleuropneumectomy, is increasingly used for mesothelioma treatment. Radical surgical resection offers improved survival rates for pleural mesothelioma patients.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Rising incidence of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
  • Advancements in managing postoperative mortality for complex thoracic procedures.

Purpose:

  • To review current surgical techniques for pleural mesothelioma.
  • To outline indications, outcomes, and recurrence rates for carcinological pleura surgery.

Summary:

  • Surgical options include pleurectomy, pleurodecrotication, and pleuropneumectomy, targeting parietal and/or visceral pleura, potentially involving diaphragm and pericardium resection.
  • Mortality for wide pleuropneumectomy is approximately 5% with well-trained teams.
  • Local recurrence is around 10%, managed with intrathoracic hyperthermic chemotherapy.
  • Median survival post-operation is 19 months, with 46% five-year survival for favorable prognoses.

Impact:

  • Radical surgical resection is the cornerstone of local treatment for pleural mesothelioma.
  • Highlights the importance of experienced surgical teams in reducing operative mortality.
  • Provides benchmarks for survival and recurrence, guiding further treatment strategies.
