Prognostic Factors Predicting Survival In Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Retrospective Study In Two Spanish Hospitals

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, aggressive tumor, with poor prognosis. Its well-known association to asbestos exposure helps to identify the population mostly affected by this disease. The aim of this study is to characterize patients with MPM in two Spanish hospitals, as well as define prognostic variables which may influence outcomes and survival.
