ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating disease with poor survival outcomes for most patients. Optimizing therapeutic approaches is thus vital, but has been hampered by a dearth of randomized trials to guide decision making. We used a population-level database to evaluate the impact of radiotherapy as a component of trimodality therapy on overall survival (OS) in MPM.METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed the SEER Radiation/Chemotherapy database for patients with MPM who received surgery and chemotherapy, with or without radiotherapy. A propensity score-matched analysis with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was performed. Weight-adjusted univariate KM analysis was performed and doubly robust, IPTW-adjusted multivariable cox proportional hazards regression modeling was also performed to quantify the effect of radiotherapy on OS in trimodality therapy for MPM.RESULTS:
1015 patients were identified. 678 patients received surgery and chemotherapy, and 337 patients received trimodality therapy. For patients with localized disease, OS was significantly improved with trimodality therapy (HR 0.56, CI 0.4 - 0.8, pâ¯=â¯0.001), which persisted with IPTW adjustment (HR 0.65, CI 0.49 - 0.95, pâ¯=â¯0.0248). No significant benefit was seen for patients with regional or distant disease. On multivariate analysis, positive predictors of survival after IPTW adjustment were female sex, diagnosis after 2005, and left-sided disease.CONCLUSIONS:
These findings support a significant benefit to OS by incorporating radiotherapy as a component of trimodality therapy for patients with localized MPM compared to only surgery and chemotherapy. It does not provide a significant overall survival benefit for patients with regional or metastatic disease.Palabras clave
