Surgical indications for pleurectomy/decortication in pleural mesothelioma based on the newly revised 9th edition of the tumour–node–metastasis classification
Surgical intervention remains crucial in the treatment of PM, particularly for patients with epithelioid histology and early stages of the disease. This study evaluates surgical indications for PM using the newly revised 9th edition of the TNM classification, indicating that it enhances the precision of surgical candidate selection and potentially improves patient outcomes.
