Abstract

The role of surgical resection per se and the type of surgery in the management of multimodality treated malignant pleural mesothelioma remains controversial. Patient selection for either extrapleural pneumonectomy or radical pleurectomy depends not only on the cardiopulmonary status of the patient, tumor stage and intraoperative findings but is also strongly influenced by surgeons' preference, experience and philosophy. The aim of this review is to compare extrapleural pneumonectomy and radical pleurectomy with regard to surgical technique, morbidity, mortality and survival.
