Abstract
Our data provide a large scale, detailed assessment of MPM epidemiology, treatment choices and outcomes. Incidence is increasing in line with predictions and uptake of treatments has generally mirrored publication of key MPM treatment trials, in particular increasing use of chemotherapy but low uptake of radical surgery. However, there is significant variation in care patterns and outcomes that may reflect limited expertise in area with low incidence. Initiatives to improve outcomes should include improved recording of clinical stage.
