Abstract
The extremely poor prognosis of sarcomatoid malignant pleural mesothelioma is independent of the extent of surgery unlike other cell types. Patients with sarcomatoid histology should therefore be considered separately in trials evaluating radical procedures and adjuvant treatment. The treatment of biphasic pleural mesothelioma remains debatable.
