Another interesting study is called, Randomized trial of doxorubicin versus cyclophosphamide in diffuse malignant pleural Mesothelioma by Srensen PG, Bach F, Bork E, Hansen HH - Cancer Treat Rep. 1985 Dec;69(12):1431-2. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - The effect of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in the treatment of diffuse, malignant pleural mesothelioma was evaluated in a randomized study. All patients were treated on an outpatient basis and none had previously received antineoplastic treatment. All patients had a measurable lesion other than pleural effusion. The treatment consisted of doxorubicin at a dose of 60 mg/m2 every 3 weeks, to a total dose of 550 mg/m2, or cyclophosphamide at a dose of 1500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 1 year. At disease progression the treatment was changed to the alternate drug. The dose was increased or decreased according to hematologic effects. Thirty of 32 patients were evaluable for response. Remissions were not achieved in any patient. During treatment with doxorubicin, none of the patients developed cardiotoxicity, while one patient developed hemorrhagic cystitis during treatment with cyclophosphamide. Sepsis or bleeding was not observed in either...more

Another interesting study is called, Immunohistochemical staining for keratin and carcinoembryonic antigen in the diagnosis of malignant Mesothelioma by Holden, Janet M.D.; Churg, Andrew M.D. - American Journal of Surgical Pathology: April 1984 - Volume 8 - Issue 4. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue and commercial antisera, we evaluated the usefulness of immunohistochemical staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and keratin in the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma. All 18 adenocarcinomas of lung examined stained for CEA, usually strongly, while only eight of 22 mesotheliomas stained for CEA and the staining was generally weak. Staining for keratin was observed in 10 of 22 mesotheliomas and 12 of 18 adenocarcinomas; there were no differences in intensity of staining between the groups. We conclude that strong diffuse staining for CEA favors a diagnosis of carcinoma, and negative staining for CEA is against a diagnosis of carcinoma, but these are relative and not absolute criteria. We find that staining for keratin is of no use in distinguishing these types of tumors.Another interesting study is called, Extrapleural pneumonectomy,...more
