Abstract

The management of mesothelioma requires a multidisciplinary and multimodality approach to therapy; Chemotherapy offers an improvement in symptoms and quality of life; Patients with poor performance status require careful assessment; Age should not be a factor when deciding treatment; Much of the research from clinical studies to date is heterogeneous and many of the trials underpowered to detect small differences; Symptomatic benefit from anticancer treatment of mesothelioma is comparable with that of other tumours.
