Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Guide for Clinicians

is a practical book developed to assist clinicians, pathologists, and molecular biologists in the management of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). MPM represents a challenge in terms of diagnosis, staging, and treatment, and to date, the optimal management of MPM patients has not yet been clearly defined – and this book is intended to be an efficient tool for these cases.

The book encompasses topics such as epidemiology and surveillance evidence, multimodality imaging assessment of MPM, pathology, molecular mechanisms, and treatment of such disease. Additionally, it discusses the standard operative procedures and the future directions for the management of MPM from experts' experiences.

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Guide for Clinicians is a valuable source for oncologists, pathologists, cancer researchers, thoracic specialists, and several members of the biomedical field who need to learn more from experts about the diagnosis, operative procedures, and treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

- Offers operative procedure sections in each chapter
