4 Multistep carcinogenesis in MPM Mutsaers, 2004 Durable, fire and heat resistant fibrous mineral To strengthen materials or serve as insulation Accumulation of asbestos fibers and chronic tissue injury Persistent stimulation of tissue repair Loss of contact-dependent growth inhibition and tumor progression

5 Epidemiology and tumorigenesis Incidence: Europe will peak between 2015 and 2020 US is at its peak Developing worlds are at very high risk Latency period from first exposure: years Genetic susceptibility: frequent inactivation of tumor suppressor genes include p16 INK4A /p14 ARF and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) BAP1 (3p21.1) mutation involves ubiquitination of histones; germline mutations predispose to MPM J Testa 2011, Nature Genetics; Bott Nature Genetics 2011

16 Systemic Therapy Chemotherapy provides symptom relief and increased OS Based on a landmark study of Vogelzang and Meerbeeck: the combination of cisplatin and anti-folte is standard Multimodality studies use neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by extrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decotication with or without RT Optimal second line chemotherapy is not defined Novel and targeting agents: so far no or very limited success

28 Comparison of EPP vs P/D 3 Institutions MSKCC, Karmanos, NYU , 663 Consecutive Patients, Retrospective Mortality EPP 7% P/D 3% Poor Prognosis for Adv Stage, NonEpitheliod Histology, EPP, Surgery alone, Male Gender EPP HR 1.4 (p<.001) controlling for stage, histology, gender and multimodal Rx J Thor Cardiovas Surg : 620

29 Multimodality therapy Goal: Intervention: 1. curative therapy 2. prolonged survival balanced with quality of life - radical resection/maximal cyto-reduction - systemic treatment - +/- radiotherapy

30 Message from MARS Courtecy Tom Treasure January 2011

31 Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, EPP and radiotherapy in MPM MARS: 16/24 randomized to EPP had intended treatment: med survival 14.4 months 3/26 randomized to no EPP eventually had EPP: med survival 19.5 months Operative mortality 18%

32 Dilemmas The role and type of surgery in MPM continues to be a matter of debate no large randomized studies avalable non-controlled case series - different staging systems - different patients selection/histology - different combinations of other treatments - different experience of a specialized surgical team

33 Conclusions (1) Role of EPP dubious, if any Small number of patients benefit Focus now on pleurectomy/decortication Never R0 resection: odds against better outcome Beware of surgical triumphalism Randomised trials needed

34 Conclusions (2) First line chemotherapy Requires a platinum-antifolate backbone Likely equipoise between different combo s Tumors recur within 2 years Second Line Chemotherapy No standard yet Future lies in better patient selection By a predictive baseline biomarker By use of molecular targeted drugs (combinations?) Both adequately studied, preferably via randomized phase 2 studies in 1st line with PFS-(R) as primary endpoint
