53-year old female, fit and sporty, developped dyspnea
Epithelial mesothelioma on the right pleura (cT2, cN0)
No asbestos exposure
Tx: Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with Cis/Pem 3 cycles

Local recurrence detected on the right chest after 26 months
Second line chemotherapy with vinorelbine, good response

EPP vs. P/D
Dilemma
• Tumor biology of MPM is very hereogenous
• MPM is rare
• Only non-controlled cas series with relatively small
sample size are available
• Different combination with other treatments
• Experience of a specialized team
Combined retrospective results of 3 centers including 663
patients stage I-IV
Flores, J Thoracic Cardiovasc Surg 2008
Early Stage:
P/D 35% vs. EPP 25%
(p<0.001)
Local Recurrences:
65% (P/D) vs 33% (EPP)
Operative mortality:
4% (P/D), 7% (EPP)
Prognosticator for longer overall survival: Multimodaltiy

Zurich Score - a clinical based selection algorithm
for multimodality (MM) treatment
Every item represents one point => Score 0-3 (maximum)
• weight loss (≥ 10% of the bodyweight)
• non-epithelioid histology
• Progressive disease after induction chemotherapy (according to
RECIST criteria)
