Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare subtype of mesothelioma. There are three main histological subtypes of mesothelioma: epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic (mixed). Risk factors include asbestos exposure, previous radiation, and some germline mutations. Treatment includes surgical resection of amenable tumors or cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. We present a 34-year-old male who presented with weight loss, night sweats, and pleuritic chest pain and was found to have ascites with peritoneal nodularity on abdominal imaging. He had a history of tuberculosis contact, but no history of asbestos exposure. After a long challenging and interesting diagnostic process, he was subsequently diagnosed with biphasic MPM. The diagnostic challenge stems from not only the rarity of the tumor but also from the absence of risk factors, the unavailability of some special laboratory investigations, in addition to the potentially misleading effect of tuberculosis exposure history, a top differential diagnosis in the case. This is a case report of a really challenging and totally unexpected diagnosis of biphasic peritoneal mesothelioma in a patient with tuberculosis exposure, constitutional symptoms, but no history of asbestos exposure. It highlights the diagnostic process as well as the importance of early diagnosis to improve the overall survival of such malignancies.

Abstract
Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy is a promising treatment approach for patients diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis, allowing the direct delivery of therapeutic agents to the tumor site within the abdominal cavity. Nevertheless, limited drug penetration into the tumor remains a primary drawback of this method. The process of delivering drugs to the tumor entails numerous complications, primarily stemming from the specific pathophysiology of the tumor. Investigating drug delivery during IP chemotherapy and studying the parameters affecting it are challenging due to the limitations of experimental studies. In contrast, mathematical modeling, with its capabilities such as enabling single-parameter studies, and cost and time efficiency, emerges as a potent tool for this purpose. In this study, we developed a numerical model to investigate IP chemotherapy by incorporating an actual image of a tumor with heterogeneous vasculature. The tumor's geometry is reconstructed using image processing techniques. The model also incorporates drug binding and uptake by cancer cells. After 60 min of IP treatment with Doxorubicin, the area under the curve (AUC) of the average free drug concentration versus time curve, serving as an indicator of drug availability to the tumor, reached 295.18 mol·m-3·s-1. Additionally, the half-width parameter W1/2, which reflects drug penetration into the tumor, ranged from 0.11 to 0.14 mm. Furthermore, the treatment resulted in a fraction of killed cells reaching 20.4% by the end of the procedure. Analyzing the spatial distribution of interstitial fluid velocity, pressure, and drug concentration in the tumor revealed that the heterogeneous distribution of tumor vasculature influences the drug delivery process. Our findings underscore the significance of considering the specific vascular network of a tumor when modeling intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The proposed methodology holds promise for application in patient-specific studies.

Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an extremely rare malignancy usually confined to the abdominal cavity. With an aggressive natural history, morbidity and mortality are consequences of progressive locoregional effects within the peritoneal cavity. The first reported case was in the early 20th century, however, due to the rare nature of the disease and a large gap in understanding of the clinicopathological effects, the next reported MPM cases were only published half a decade later. Since then, there has been exponential growth in our understanding of the disease, however, there are no prospective data and a paucity of literature regarding management. Traditionally, patients were treated with systemic therapy and the outcomes were very poor, with a median survival of less than one year. However, with the advent of cytoreductive surgery and locoregional chemotherapy, there have been significant improvements in survival. Even more recently, with an improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of MPM, there have been reports of improved outcomes with novel therapies. Given the disastrous natural history of MPM, the limited data, and the lack of universal treatment guidelines, an in-depth review of the past, present, and future of MPM is critical to improve treatment regimens and, subsequently, patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is a rare malignancy originating from the peritoneal lining. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the standard-of-care for patients with isolated PM. Due to a paucity of prospective data there are several different HIPEC protocols. The aims of this study are to describe the CRS and HIPEC protocols for PM and patient outcomes across Canada. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study was performed on patients diagnosed and treated for PM with CRS and HIPEC in four major peritoneal disease centers in Canada between 2000 and 2021. Data on patient characteristics, treatment patterns, postoperative morbidity, recurrence, and survival were collected. RESULTS A total of 72 patients were identified. Mean age was 52 years (17-75) and 37.5% were male. Epithelioid (70.1%) and multicystic (13%) mesothelioma were the most common subtypes. Twenty-one patients (30%) were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. CRS and HIPEC was performed in 64 patients (91.4%). Of these, the mean PCI was 22 (2-39) and cisplatin+doxorubicin was the most common HIPEC regimen (n = 33, 51.6%). A semi-closed coliseum technique was used in 68.8% of HIPECs and the mean duration of surgery was 486 min (90-1052). Clavien-Dindo III or IV complications occurred in 12 patients (16.9%). With a median follow-up of 24 months (0.2-104.4), we found a 5-year overall survival of 61% and a 5-year recurrence-free survival of 35%. CONCLUSION CRS and HIPEC is a safe and effective treatment modality for well-selected patients with PM, with some achieving prolonged survival.

Abstract
Peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis, representing about 10-15% of all mesothelioma cases. Herein we apply PM patient-derived tumor organoids (PTOs) in elucidating personalized HIPEC responses to bypass rarity of disease in generating preclinical data. Specimens were obtained from PM patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC. PTOs were fabricated with tumor cells suspended in ECM-hydrogel and treated with HIPEC regimen parameters. Viability and characterization analyses were performed post-treatment. Treatment efficacy was defined as ≥ 50% viability reduction and p < 0.05 compared to controls. From October 2020 to November 2022, 17 tumors from 7 patients were biofabricated into organoids, with 16/17 (94.1%) sites undergoing comparative 37° and 42° treatments with cisplatin and mitomycin C (MMC). Hyperthermic cisplatin and MMC enhanced cytotoxicity which reduced treatment viability by 25% and 22%, respectively, compared to normothermia. Heated cisplatin displayed the greatest cytotoxicity, with efficacy in 12/16 (75%) tumors and an average viability of 38% (5-68%). Heated MMC demonstrated efficacy in 7/16 (43.8%) tumors with an average treatment viability of 51% (17-92.3%). PTOs fabricated from distinct anatomic sites exhibited site-specific variability in treatment responses. PM PTOs exhibit patient and anatomic location treatment responses suggestive of underlying disease clonality. In PM organoids cisplatin is superior to MMC in HIPEC.

Abstract
Extrapelvic endometriosis is a rare presentation of endometriosis with atypical clinical symptoms. It can mimic peritoneal surface malignancy, as well as some abdominal infectious diseases. A 29-year-old Moroccan woman presented with abdominal pain, progressive abdominal distention, and an intermittent inflammatory syndrome. Imaging revealed multiple, progressively growing abdominal cysts. She had elevated tumor markers CA125 and CA19.9. Despite thorough investigation, several differential diagnoses persisted for a long time. Definitive pathological diagnosis could only be established after debulking surgery. Literature review on malignant and benign conditions causing multicystic abdominal distention is provided. When definitive diagnosis is not established, but suspicion for peritoneal malignancy remains, a debulking procedure can be undertaken. Organ preservation can be pursued whenever benign disease is still considered. In case of malignancy, short-term (curative) debulking procedure with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can be proposed.

Abstract
Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) prognosis was improved by the locoregional treatment combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). HIPEC is a multiparametric treatment with multiple protocols proposed and reviewed in this work. A systematic review of medical literature was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy used "malignant peritoneal mesothelioma" and "HIPEC" as keywords in three databases. Studies were included if reporting precisely the HIPEC regimen and the related outcomes, if comparing regimen, or if reporting national/international guidelines. The GRADE methodology was used to rate the level of evidence. Twenty-eight studies were included in this review: 1 was a meta-analysis, 18 reported cohort outcomes, 4 retrospectively compared HIPEC regimens, and 5 were guidelines. Six HIPEC regimens were found, 4 with one drug (cisplatin, mitomycine-C, carboplatin, oxaliplatin), 2 using two drugs (cisplatin-doxorubicin or cisplatin-mitomycine-C). Cisplatin, up to 250 mg/m2 over 90 min, appeared as the key HIPEC drug with a toxicity profile well controlled by the concomitant intravenous perfusion of sodium thiosulfate. Comparative studies tended to show that a bi-drug regimen led to better long-term oncologic outcomes, with cisplatin 50 mg/m2 plus doxorubicin 15 mg/m2 being safe and more efficient. This late protocol was the most widely used and recommended in 3 out of 4 international guidelines. Cisplatin was the preferred drug for HIPEC in DMPM patients. Most of the time, it was combined with doxorubicin for 90 min. A harmonization of protocols and further comparative studies are needed to optimize HIPEC regimen choice.

Abstract
Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is a rare neoplasm, traditionally associated with a poor prognosis. There are other varieties of PM that are even less frequent and of uncertain malignancy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has achieved prolonged survival in selected patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the patients with PM assessed in our center. Clinicopathological characteristics, diagnostic procedures and survival results from patients with PM appraised at our unit, according to the applied treatment, were analyzed. Seventeen patients were assessed between 2007 and 2019. Three cases had multicystic PM that were treated with complete CRS + HIPEC; all patients are alive and free of disease after a long follow-up. Three other cases had biphasic PM; a curative treatment could be performed in none of them, and their survival was minimal (<6 moths). Lastly, 11 cases with epithelioid PM were treated. Two cases were considered unresectable at laparoscopy (PCI 39); one of them had a long survival (67 months) with three iterative laparoscopic palliatives HIPECs for refractory ascites. The other nine cases were treated with curative CRS + HIPEC, with a median PCI of 14 (range 4–25), and a median overall survival (OS) of 58 months, with a 5-year OS of 47.4%. In conclusion, CRS + HIPEC, when possible, appears to be the optimal treatment for patients with PM. Knowledge of this therapeutic option is crucial, both to offer it to patients and to avoid delays in their referral to appropriate centers for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare diagnosis with a dismal prognosis if untreated. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is shown to significantly improve survival. Our institution is uniquely positioned to report long-term outcomes in MPM with CRS-HIPEC, due to our robust peritoneal surface disease program existing over the past three decades. METHODS Our prospectively maintained, single-institution database of CRS-HIPEC cases was reviewed, identifying 111 consecutive patients with MPM over 28 years (1993-2021). Prognostic, operative, and pathologic factors were reviewed. Overall survival (OS) and conditional survival (CS) analyses were performed. RESULTS The average age was 55.1 years; 58.6% of patients were male; 17 of 111 patients (15.3%) had a second CRS-HIPEC. At first CRS-HIPEC, the average PCI score was 18.7, and the perfusate drugs were platinum-based (72.1%) and mitomycin C (27.9%). The resection status at first CRS-HIPEC was R2a (46.4%), followed by R0-1 (29.1%), and R2b-c (24.5%). Median OS was 3.3 years for the entire cohort, with 75th and 25th percentiles at 10.7 months and 10.6 years. Median CS was improved if patients survived to the 1-year postoperative mark (4.9 years, p < 0.01) and trended toward further improvement with each passing year. If 3-year postoperative survival was achieved, the median CS improved to 6.1 years. CONCLUSIONS This represents one of the largest and lengthiest, single-center, longitudinal, case series of peritoneal mesothelioma treated with CRS-HIPEC. The OS suggests efficacy for CRS-HIPEC for MPM. Long-term survival improves significantly after patients achieve the 1-year, postoperative mark.

Abstract
Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) is a rare form of mesothelioma that carries a very poor prognosis. The 5-year overall survival is about 20% (±5.9). Survival is optimal for patients suitable for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), with a median OS ranging from 34 to 92 months. However, selecting patients for surgery remains a complex task and requires a careful preoperative workup, rational analysis of prognostic profiles, and risk prediction models. Systemic chemotherapy could be offered: (1) in the adjuvant setting for high-risk patients; (2) for patients not eligible for CRS; and (3) for those with recurrent disease. It mainly includes the combination of Platin compound with Pemetrexed or immunotherapy. The biology of DMPM is still largely unknown. However, progress has been made on some fronts, such as telomere maintenance mechanisms, deregulation of apoptosis, tyrosine kinase pathways, and mutation of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1). Future perspectives should include translational research to improve our understanding of the disease biology to identify druggable targets. We should also clear the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors and investigate new locoregional technologies, such as pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) or normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC).

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Postoperative coagulopathy is a poorly investigated condition after Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC). This study aims to evaluate the occurrence and risk factors of coagulative disorders after surgery for peritoneal metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS The records were extracted from a prospectively maintained database of consecutive patients who underwent CRS between January 2018 and September 2020. The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee. For each patient, the coagulation profile (CP), which included international normalized ratio (INR), partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and platelets (PLTS) before surgery, intensive care unit admission,1st, 3rd, 5th postoperative day (POD) and the day before discharge was collected. Risk factors for postoperative coagulopathy were identified at multivariate analysis. RESULTS During the study period, 125 patients were included in the study. Among these, 48 (38.4%) underwent CRS only, and 77 (61.6%) CRS followed by HIPEC. Twenty-one patients (16.8%) developed severe coagulopathy, 5 (10.4%) after CRS and 16 (20.8%) after CRS-HIPEC. At multivariate analysis, HIPEC and blood loss ≥ 500 ml represented independent risk factors for severe alteration of INR > 1.5 (p = 0.05, OR 1.2) and PLTS < 75 109/L (p = 0.03, OR 1.3), respectively. CONCLUSION HIPEC is an independent risk factor for postoperative coagulopathy after CRS. Further studies are necessary to assess the usefulness of the point-of-care test in patients treated with CRS-HIPEC.

Abstract
Introduction Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) is a rare malignant neoplasm with poor survival that shares some similarities with the best-known pleural variant, pleural mesothelioma. The recent European Reference Network on Rare Adult Cancers (EURACAN)/International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) proposals attempted to improve the histological diagnosis and patient risk stratification. Herein, we investigated whether the pathology recommendations and suggestions of the pleural proposals were applicable to diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Methods Fifty multiple laparoscopic biopsies of DMPM were consecutively collected at the Pathology Unit of the University of Bari. A two-tier system, i.e., low, and high grade, was used to categorize 34 epithelioid DMPMs. Architectural patterns, cytological features and stromal changes were also reported. Immunohistochemistry was performed for BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), and Ki67, while fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed for p16/cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A). Results High-grade epithelioid mesothelioma, high Ki67, and p16/CDKN2A deletion were significantly associated with short survival (p = 0.004, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.002, respectively). BAP1 loss and PD-L1 negativity were the most common findings. Multivariate analysis revealed that the nuclear grading system and p16 deletion significantly correlated with survival (p = 0.003 each). Conclusions The present study examined the prognostic significance of several factors proposed for pleural mesothelioma in an extra pleural site. Notably, the introduction of a grading system may provide better risk stratification in epithelioid DMPM. Ki67, BAP1 and p16/CDKN2A should also be measured whenever possible. A detailed report with all supportive data would allow us to collect sufficient information for use in further studies on larger case series.

Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma historically carried a grim prognosis, but outcomes have improved substantially in recent decades. The prognostic significance of clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features remains ill-defined. This multi-institutional cohort comprises 225 malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas, which were assessed for 21 clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical parameters. For epithelioid mesotheliomas, combining nuclear pleomorphism and mitotic index yielded a composite nuclear grade, using a previously standardized grading system. Correlation of clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical parameters with overall and disease-free survival was examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. On univariate analysis, longer overall survival was significantly associated with diagnosis after 2000 (P = 0.0001), age <60 years (P = 0.0001), ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (P = 0.01), absence of radiographic lymph-node metastasis (P = 0.04), cytoreduction surgery (P < 0.0001), hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (P = 0.0001), peritoneal carcinomatosis index <27 (P = 0.01), absence of necrosis (P = 0.007), and epithelioid histotype (P < 0.0001). Among epithelioid malignant mesotheliomas only, longer overall survival was further associated with female sex (P = 0.03), tubulopapillary architecture (P = 0.005), low nuclear pleomorphism (P < 0.0001), low mitotic index (P = 0.0007), and low composite nuclear grade (P < 0.0001). On multivariate analyses, the low composite nuclear grade was independently associated with longer overall and disease-free survival (P < 0.0001). Our data further clarify the interactions of clinical and pathologic features in peritoneal mesothelioma prognosis and validate the prognostic significance of a standardized nuclear-grading system in epithelioid malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum.

Abstract
The prognosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis is poor. However, the emergence of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) as a treatment option has prolonged survival and it can even potentially cure patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Randomized controlled studies and other observational studies indicated that this combined therapy potentially improved the prognosis of patients with colon, gastric, and ovarian cancers with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. Even in rarer diseases, such as pseudomyxoma peritonei and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, CRS + HIPEC markedly improved the prognoses over those with conventional treatment. Based on the accumulated evidence, clinical guidelines recommend CRS + HIPEC for selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, several issues still need to be overcome. A standard method for HIPEC has not yet been established. Furthermore, the criteria employed for patient selection need to be clarified to achieve real benefits. The peritoneal cancer index, chemo-sensitivity and several biological markers are considered to be key factors.

Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and lethal disease of the peritoneal lining, with high variability in biologic aggressiveness. Morbidity and mortality of the disease are related to progressive locoregional effects within the abdominal cavity, such as distention, pain, early satiety, and decreased oral intake that can ultimately lead to bowel obstruction and cachexia. The standard of care for patients with resectable disease remains cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), with potential survival outcomes greater than 5 years in appropriately selected patients. Patients with inoperable MPM can be offered systemic treatment, although the disease is usually refractory to standard chemotherapic regimens. Patients with MPM should be treated at high volume centers with strong consideration for inclusion in tumor registries and clinical trials. In 2020, research will continue to explore promising genetic and immunologic targets and focus on refinement of surgical methods to optimize CRS-HIPEC approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of short and long term outcomes of diaphragm resection and repair in cyto-reductive surgery (CRS) and intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (IPC). METHODS 1230 consecutive CRS/IPC procedures were performed between 1996 and 2018 in Sydney, Australia. Among these, 652 underwent diaphragmatic intervention. The analysis was preformed according to histological subtype. First diaphragm interventions were compared to non-diaphragmatic CRS. Secondly, diaphragm resection was compared to diaphragm stripping. Overall survival and recurrence free survival was assessed based on histological diagnosis. RESULTS There were no differences between the resection and stripping groups for the colorectal cohort. For mesothelioma, increased incidences of pleural effusions in the resection group were noted (63% vs.28%, p = 0.017). In HAMNs, the resection group was associated with increased reoperations (42% vs. 15%, p = 0.03) and in hospital death (16.7% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.012). Resection in LAMNs were linked with increased transfusion requirements (9 vs. 6, p = 0.01), reoperation (39% vs. 23%, p = 0.05) and prolonged length of stay (34 days vs. 25 days, p = 0.02). There were no differences in overall survival and recurrence free survival in colorectal cancer. Median overall survival was decreased in mesothelioma by 20 months. In LAMNs the median survival was significantly decreased for the resection group. Similarly, the resection group had a 4-month earlier recurrence. CONCLUSION We conclude that diaphragm interventions are an essential part of CRS. They are associated with increased perioperative morbidity. This morbidity is not attributable to whether the patient underwent diaphragm stripping or resection. However in mesothelioma and LAMNs, requiring diaphragm resection is likely to be an indicator for tumor aggression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an accepted treatment for peritoneal mesothelioma. In this study, we evaluated QOL after HIPEC for peritoneal mesothelioma. METHODS This was a prospective study performed after HIPEC for peritoneal mesothelioma between 2002 and 2015. Patients completed QOL surveys, including the Short Form-36 (SF-36), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy + Colon (FACT-C), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS Overall, 46 patients underwent HIPEC for peritoneal mesothelioma and completed QOL surveys. Mean age was 52.8 ± 13.8 years and 52% were male. Good preoperative functional status was 70%. Median survival was 3.4 years, and 1, 3, and 5-year survivals were 77.4, 55.2, and 36.5%, respectively. CES-D score decreased at 3 months postoperatively, but increased at 24 months (p = 0.014); SF-36 physical functioning scale decreased at 3 months but returned to baseline at 12 months (p = 0.0045); and the general health scale decreased at 3 months, then improved by 6 months (p = 0.0034). Emotional well-being (p = 0.0051), role limitations due to emotional problems (p = 0.0006), social functioning (p = 0.0022), BPI (p = 0.025), least pain (p = 0.045), and worst pain (p < 0.0001) improved. FACT-C physical well-being decreased at 3 months but returned to baseline at 6 months (p = 0.020), and total FACT-C score improved at 6 months (p = 0.052). CONCLUSION QOL returned to baseline or improved from baseline between 3 months and 1 year following surgery. Despite the risks associated with this operation, patients may tolerate HIPEC well and have good overall QOL postoperatively.

Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, aggressive malignancy that typically presents with vague symptoms, ascites, and/or diffuse peritoneal studding. Despite findings of advanced disease within the peritoneal cavity, spread beyond the abdomen is uncommon. Although advances in systemic chemotherapy have been made, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remain the mainstay of treatment. Median overall survival of approximately 50 months with CRS/HIPEC has been demonstrated, with age, gender, histologic subtype, peritoneal carcinomatosis index, comorbidities, nodal and extra-abdominal metastases, and completeness of cytoreduction all playing a role in prognosis. In patients with refractory malignant ascites and unresectable disease, complete resolution of ascites and improvement in quality of life have been demonstrated with palliative HIPEC. In appropriately selected patients, CRS/HIPEC plays a critical role in the treatment and palliation of MPM.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study of a large, contemporary national database evaluated management patterns, outcomes, and prognostic factors of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) in the USA. METHODS The National Cancer Data Base was queried for newly diagnosed nonmetastatic MPM. Patients were divided into five cohorts: observation, chemotherapy alone, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) alone, CRS/chemo [referring to any non-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) chemotherapy], and CRS/HIPEC. Statistics included multivariable logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox proportional hazards modeling. RESULTS Of 1514 patients, 379 (25%) underwent observation, 370 (24%) received chemotherapy only, 197 (13%) CRS alone, 352 (23%) CRS/chemo, and 216 (14%) CRS/HIPEC. No major temporal trends in management were noted. Factors predictive of CRS administration included younger age, female gender, insurance status, residence in educated areas, living farther from treating institutions, and treatment at academic centers (p < 0.05 for all). Compared with epithelioid histology, those with sarcomatoid and biphasic histology were less and more likely to undergo CRS, respectively (p < 0.05 for both). In all CRS patients, 30- and 90-day mortality rates were 0.8 and 1.2%, respectively. At median follow-up of 50 months, median OS in the respective groups was 6, 17, 21, 52, and 61 months (p < 0.001). Poor prognostic factors included advanced age, male gender, uninsured/Medicaid insurance, and sarcomatoid/biphasic histology (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS In the USA, MPM is treated using a wide variety of strategies. Many factors impact the type of treatment delivered, including age, sociodemographics, geography, histology, and facility type. Although these data do not imply causation, combined-modality management seems associated with the longest OS.
