ABSTRACT
The surgical treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) involves procedures to achieve macroscopic complete resection, depending on the patient's condition. We reviewed the evolution of surgical approaches for resectable MPM. Since surgery is no more than a single step in the set of processes in multimodality treatment (MMT), we concluded that these procedures should give precedence to lung preservation and minimize resection whenever possible. Postoperative quality of life must be prioritized when the patient can receive appropriate adjuvant therapy.
