Only one suggestion has been published so far on the favourable effect of left-sided tumours [41 ]. This study describes the prognosis of 167 MPM patients who were selected from the files of a pathology laboratory. No explanation is given for this observation, but it does not seem to be secondary to a higher complication or mortality rate for patients who had surgery for right-sided tumours. Other studies report similar survival rates for patients with right- and left-sided tumours [19, 25,40],

Tumour markers

Recently, new markers have been explored by molecular and cellular biological techniques. Some markers seem to predict a better outcome of the disease in selected MPM patients, but confirma­tion by larger independent series is still lacking. More importantly, these markers give insight into the (extra)cellular processes associated with the development of MPM and shift the approach to MPM from anatomical, focusing on surgical staging and local (radiotherapeutic) treatment, towards systemic, focusing on the selection of patients for systemic therapy.
