The authors present a review of the cases of pleural mesothelioma diagnosed and treated in the Institute of Special Surgical Pathology of the University of Ancona. They confirm the causative role of asbestos in the aetiology of this disease and indicate that the surgical approach is the best diagnostic means available via open biopsy and that the only curative procedure is pleuropneumonectomy. Such surgery, however, is confined to patients properly studied according to the scheme proposed by Butchart, namely stage I patients in excellent physical condition.
作者介绍了安科纳大学特殊外科病理学研究所诊断和治疗的胸膜间皮瘤病例。他们证实了石棉在该疾病病因中的致病作用，并指出手术方法是通过开放活检获得的最佳诊断手段，且唯一的治愈性手术是胸膜肺切除术。然而，这种手术仅限于根据布查特提出的方案进行适当评估的患者，即身体状况良好的I期患者。
