Determinants of mortality among US patients diagnosed with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma over the past decade
Fibrous mesothelioma, older age, and distant disease were associated with increased mortality. All intervention strategies were associated with improved survival outcomes. Earlier diagnosis may improve outcomes, as available interventions are associated with lower mortality when feasible at diagnosis. The study paves the way for further prospective and retrospective studies to focus on the identification of patient subsets that may benefit from early mesothelioma screening.
