| Popis: |
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. |
