3 Malignant pleural mesothelioma surgical treatment surgical techniques, definitions pleurectomy/decortication extrapleural pneumonectomy recent surgical studies EORTC MARS 1 pilot trial surgery: quo vadis?

4 Surgical techniques Pleurectomy / decortication removal involved parietal + visceral pleura + resection diaphragm, pericardium if necessary preservation of lung parenchyma

5 Surgical techniques Pleurectomy / decortication advantages disadvantages low mortality morbidity preservation of lung parenchyma good palliation subsequent therapy rapidly possible - adjuvant chemoradiotherapy reduced radiation dose only radical for early stages Maggi G. Trimodality management of malignant pleural mesothelioma. EJCTS 2001; 19:346-50

6 Surgical techniques EPP : extrapleural pneumonectomy removal parietal pleura ipsilateral lung pericardium if necessary diaphragm if necessary reconstruction diaphragm, pericardium : PTFE soft tissue patch Sugarbaker D. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2004; 128:138-46

7 Surgical techniques EPP : extrapleural pneumonectomy advantages maximal debulking procedure postop. radiation dose good palliation disadvantages major operation mortality morbidity survival advantage?

25 MARS trial (UK) Mesothelioma And Radical Surgery trial 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy, repeat staging eligibility : reviewed by MARS multidisciplinary team randomization : no EPP surgery 670 patients T1-3, N0-1, M0 EPP primary endpoint : survival secondary endpoint : QOL

26 MARS trial (UK) randomized pilot feasibility study : aims : feasibility of randomizing 50 pts. feasibility of undertaking this surgery as a multi-center trial feasibility of surgery 11 centres; 112 pts evaluated and induction therapy 50 pts (45%) randomized randomization feasible between surgical and non-surgical treatment Treasure T. J Thor Oncol 2009; 4:1254-8

27 MARS: trial design Fit for surgery (BTS guidelines) Patient consent and registration Staging: PET & mediastinoscopy 3 cycles of platinum-chemotherapy Repeat staging by CT scan N = 112 Eligibility reviewed by virtual multidisciplinary team N = 57 Patient consent R EPP No EPP N = 24 N = 26 Post-operative radical hemithoracic radiotherapy Treasure et al.

30 MARS: Quality of Life Treasure et al. Lancet Oncol 2011; 12: Snee et al. J Thoracic Oncol 2011; 6 suppl 2: O 30.07

31 MARS: authors conclusions In view of the high morbidity associated with EPP in this trial and in other non-randomized studies a larger study is not feasible. These data, although limited, suggest that radical surgery in the form of EPP within trimodal therapy offers no benefit and possibly harms patients. Thus EPP can no longer be recommended as an option for patients with mesothelioma Treasure et al. Lancet Oncol 2011; 12: Snee et al. J Thoracic Oncol 2011; 6 suppl 2: O 30.07

33 P/D is superior to EPP in multimodality management of pts with MPM prospective, non-randomized study 7- year period 2 groups: EPP 25 pts induction CT: cisplatin-gemcitabine or cisplatin-pemetrexed 22 pts EPP (3 abandoned due to extent of disease) 17 pts adj. RT 54 Gy (68% full protocol) P/D 61 pts P/D + hyperthermic pleural lavage (povidone-iodine) 57% macroscopic complete resection 54 pts+ prophylactic RT 21 Gy + adjuvant CT 4-6 cycles Lang-Lazdunski L et al.

J Thor Oncol 2012; 7:737-43

35 Is it time to consider P/D as the only surgical treatment for MPM? EPP gold standard until now MARS trial: EPP morbidity - is P/D now standard therapy? to be abandoned «it is too early based on this data to completely abandon EPP altogether» Weyant MJ. Editorial. J Thor Oncol 2012; 7: options: macroscopic complete resection P/D EPP EORTC: randomized phase II of induction versus adjuvant CT + extended P/D in early stage MPM

36 Surgical studies in mesothelioma Conclusions MPM highly lethal disease surgery: role diagnosis, staging, palliation, treatment combined modality treatment indicated in early stages role of induction versus adjuvant chemotherapy? role of maximal debulking by EPP versus P/D? survival advantage of trimodality treatment? further phase II/III multicenter trials necessary
