Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund: Tumor volume has been reported several times to be a valuable prognosticator for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) survival (Pass 1998, Opitz 2015). We wanted to assess the precision of CT scan based preoperatively measured tumor volume when correlated to the actual resected tumor weight during macroscopic complete resection and their impact on overall survival. Material und Methode: From October 2012 until November 2015 the tumor weight of surgery specimens was measured in 27 patients undergoing macroscopic complete resection. 26 patients were male (96%), 25 MPM showed epithelioid type (96%) and…
