Malignant mesothelioma of the pleura occurs primarily in individuals who were exposed to asbestos either in the workplace or home. The incidence of malignant mesothelioma is rising and, reflective of the malignancy's long latency period, is expected to continue to increase into the next century. Current treatment measures, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, intrapleural therapy, and combined-modality therapies, have had varying impacts on survival. This paper explores current trends in the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
胸膜恶性间皮瘤主要发生在那些在工作场所或家中接触过石棉的人身上。恶性间皮瘤的发病率正在上升，鉴于这种恶性肿瘤的潜伏期很长，预计在下个世纪还会继续上升。目前的治疗措施，包括手术、放射治疗、化疗、胸膜内治疗以及综合治疗，对生存率产生了不同程度的影响。本文探讨了恶性胸膜间皮瘤治疗的当前趋势。
