Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare incurable cancer that is predominantly related to asbestos exposure. There have been numerous advances in this field, including innovations in diagnostics, the development of enhanced staging and immunotherapy treatment, and novel evidence regarding surgical treatments and intrapleural therapy. This Special Issue therefore welcomes the submission of articles related to these topics.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on mesothelioma with original research articles and reviews. The research included in this Special Issue may present updated diagnostic methods, novel treatment options and debates around surgical treatment. I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Avinash Aujayeb
Guest Editor
