Langenbeck’s Archives of Surgery 2024 April 8 [Link] Mikko Reese, Ann-Kathrin Eichelmann, Tobias M Nowacki , Andreas Pascher, Judith C Sporn Abstract Purpose: Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) are commonly known to have a dismal prognosis. Over the past decades, novel techniques such as cytoreductive surgery (CRS), hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) have been introduced for the treatment of PSM which could improve the overall survival and quality of life of patients with PSM. The decision to proceed with CRS and H ..read more

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics 2024 April 7 [Link] Lorelle L Dismore, Leah L Taylor, Avinash Aujayeb, Christopher Hurst, Katherine Swainston Abstract Background: People living with mesothelioma have a high symptom burden that can affect dietary intake and the development of malnutrition, subsequently impacting on patient-related and treatment outcomes. The present study aimed to develop a better understanding of the experiences of diet and appetite in people living with mesothelioma and their informal carers. Methods: Twenty-three participants took part in semistructured interviews i ..read more

European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences 2024 March [Link] E Mutlu, M Inanc Abstract Objective: The relationship between inflammatory markers and survival in many cancers has been investigated previously. Inflammatory markers may also offer the possibility of predicting surveillance in patients with malignant mesothelioma. Our study seeks to enhance comprehension of how variables such as the nutritional status and inflammation indices of malignant mesothelioma patients impact the disease’s progression and prognosis. Patients and methods: This study included patients who were tr ..read more

Lung Cancer 2024 March 28 [Link] Ashleigh J Hocking, Lauren A Mortimer, Alexandra L Farrall, Prudence A Russell, Sonja Klebe Abstract Objectives: Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer arising in the cells that line the lungs and chest wall with poor survival and poor response to first-line therapy. Organoid models of cancer can faithfully recapitulate the genetic and histopathological characteristics of individualized tumors and have potential to be used for precision medicine, however methods of establishing patient-derived mesothelioma organoids have not been well established in the published lit ..read more

European Journal of Cancer Prevention 2024 March 11 [Link] Federica Danuzzo, Federico Raveglia, Francesca Spinelli, Chiara Maria Sibilia, Enrico Cassina, Lidia Libretti, Emanuele Pirondini, Antonio Tuoro, Francesca Bono, Maria Emilia Paladino, Diego Cortinovis, Francesco Petrella Abstract Pleural mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the pleura. In recent years, there has been increasing interest and attention in detecting and diagnosing early-stage or precancerous forms of mesothelioma because of its severe prognosis and short life expectancy at the time of diagnosis. Meso ..read more

Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery 2024 March 15 [Link] Milica Medved, Hunter D D Witmer, Ankit Dhiman, Yaniv Berger, Scott K Sherman, Enal S Hindi, Samuel G Armato 3rd, Ingrid S Reiser, Aytekin Oto, Roger M Engelmann, Hedy L Kindler, Nisa C Oren, Carla B Harmath, Kiran K Turaga Abstract Background: Imaging of peritoneal malignancies using conventional cross-sectional imaging is challenging, but accurate assessment of peritoneal disease burden could guide better selection for definitive surgery. Here we demonstrate feasibility of high-resolution, high-contrast magnetic resonance imag ..read more

Advanced Materials 2024 March 26 [Link] Caleb F Anderson, Anand Singh, Tyler Stephens, Chuong D Hoang, Joel P Schneider Abstract Broad size distributions and poor long-term colloidal stability of microRNA-carrying nanoparticles, especially those formed by polyelectrolyte complexation, represent major hurdles in realizing their clinical translation. Herein, peptide design is used alongside optimized flash nanocomplexation (FNC) to produce uniform peptide-based miRNA particles of exceptional stability that display anticancer activity against mesothelioma in vitro and in vivo. Modulating the cont ..read more
