Why the MARS2 Trial Does Not Mean the End of All Mesothelioma Surgery

As contemporary selection criteria were not applied in MARS2, its conclusions cannot be universally applied to all those with PM. Together with the favourable postoperative survival in this selected group, we suggest that there is still scope for a further trial of surgery in early-stage epithelioid mesothelioma.

Abstract

As contemporary selection criteria were not applied in MARS2, its conclusions cannot be universally applied to all those with PM. Together with the favourable postoperative survival in this selected group, we suggest that there is still scope for a further trial of surgery in early-stage epithelioid mesothelioma.
