Objective.

We review our 24-year experience with extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) in the treatment of epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).

Background.

Recent publications, particularly the MARS (Mesothelioma and Radical Surgery) feasibility study by Treasure et al, have questioned the safety and efficacy of EPP for MPM.

Methods.

An institutional review board–approved, prospective, single-center database was retrospectively reviewed. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival are reported.

Results.

From 1988 to 2011, a total of 529 patients with epithelioid MPM underwent complete resection by EPP as part of a multimodality strategy. Among these, 131 (25%) were women, and the median age was 59 (range, 17–79) years. Median postoperative hospital stay was 10 (range, 1–101) days. Twenty-six patients (5%) experienced 30-day or in-hospital mortality. Median overall survival was 18 months, with 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates of 67%, 28%, 14%, and 4%, respectively. Outcome by pathologic lymph node status (N, median overall survival) was N0: 224, 26 months; N1: 118, 17 months; N2: 181, 13 months; N3: 5, 7 months; Nx: 1, not evaluable.

Conclusions.

EPP has evolved as an effective method for macroscopic complete resection. This study confirms that lymph node status is significantly correlated with overall survival in patients with epithelioid MPM undergoing EPP and suggests that those with simultaneous involvement of N1 and N2 stations are at increased risk. This observation underscores the need for thorough staging of both N1 and N2 stations and has implications for revision of MPM staging criteria.

Reporting the Death.

If a person dies from mesothelioma or lung cancer at home then usually their GP reports the death to the Coroner. If the person dies in a hospital or hospice then the treating medical staff will report the death.

Initial contact with the Coroner’s Officer.

The Coroner’s Officer, who assists the Coroner, is usually the point of contact for family members. The Officer will ask about the person’s work history and exposure to asbestos dust. If the person was bringing or had brought a mesothelioma or lung cancer claim then you should give the Coroner’s Officer the details of your asbestos solicitor who can then provide the person’s work history and asbestos exposure evidence. This will assist and help progress the Coroner’s investigation.

Post Mortem Examination.

The Coroner might decide that a post mortem examination is necessary. Sometimes, lung tissue samples are taken and sent to a laboratory for further analysis to determine the part played by asbestos in the person’s death.

In a mesothelioma claim the Coroner might decide a post mortem is not needed if the person had a biopsy confirming the diagnosis during their lifetime.

Usually in lung cancer cases a post mortem is carried out. Lung tissue samples are taken and analysed using a special microscope to assess the level of asbestos fibres in the lungs. The amount of fibres could help establish that the lung cancer was asbestos related.

The pathologist carries out the post mortem examination within a few days of the death and prepares a report for the Coroner. After the examination the funeral can take place.

Inquest opened and adjourned.

The Coroner will open and adjourn the inquest so that the documents and evidence needed by the Coroner can be gathered.

Once the investigations have been completed the inquest will be re-opened.

The Coroner will issue an interim death certificate shortly after the death.

Inquest concluded.

The Coroner might decide to conclude the investigation or inquest without a hearing. The Coroner will provide his/her verdict as to the cause of the person’s death in writing.

Sometimes, the Coroner does this at a final hearing.

At this hearing the Coroner considers all the evidence including the post mortem report and evidence of the person’s work history and exposure to asbestos dust.

Family members can attend and ask questions of anyone called to give evidence.

The pathologist who carried out the post mortem examination might attend the hearing to give evidence to the Coroner and answer any questions the Coroner, we or family members might have.

Our specialist asbestos solicitors will also attend the Inquest to provide support to the grieving family members and to ask any questions that haven’t been answered.

Once the Coroner has considered and heard all the evidence and answered any questions, he/she gives their ‘verdict’ for the cause of the person’s death.

In mesothelioma or lung cancer cases the court may conclude the death was due to an industrial disease.

If a mesothelioma claim or lung cancer claim is being brought then this conclusion can be helpful. However, if the Coroner does not reach this conclusion then it does not mean that you cannot bring a mesothelioma claim or lung cancer claim.

After the inquest is concluded the Coroner will arrange for the death to be registered and a final death certificate is then issued.

Lung Tissue Samples.

After the Inquest has concluded, the Coroner’s officer might ask family members what to do with any lung tissue samples taken from the person. The samples could be retained, disposed of respectfully and sensitively by the hospital, donated for medical research or released to you for burial or cremation.

You should speak to one of our specialist asbestos solicitors before making any decision because in some asbestos claims, such as lung cancer claims, it is advisable that the lung tissue samples be retained until the claim is concluded. If a mesothelioma claim or lung cancer claim is being brought or will be brought at a future date your opponents might argue that you withheld vital evidence by not retaining the lung tissue samples and might persuade the court that you should not be allowed to bring a claim for that reason.

A mesothelioma lawsuit or asbestos claim is legal action that allows mesothelioma patients and their families to obtain compensation for illnesses related to asbestos exposure.

The timing depends on several factors that our attorneys discuss in this video.

Mesothelioma Survival Free Book: https://survivingmesothelioma.....com/mesothelioma-new

Paul had been diagnosed in 1997 with metastases so advanced that the surgeons and cancer specialists had given him no hope of recovery or survival. In this interview he recounts his first reactions to finding out he had mesothelioma cancer.

In this video we ask: Tell us a little about how you reacted when you were diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Here is what he had to say:

Well, to be told I have cancer and only a short amount of time to live, is devastating. But when the cancer is an accidental find, while undergoing minor abdominal surgery, the shock was all the more profound.

And while my immediate reaction was fear and deep sadness, my wife reacted to the dire situation in another way. We both had a deep interest in natural health, and despite the shock of the diagnosis, I remember her asking me: "Where can I buy some organic carrots to start juicing today?" Her positive attitude regarding the possibilities of healing directed our cancer journey right from the very beginning.

Once the initial shock had worn off, I was determined to give myself the maximum opportunity to heal by seeing the diagnosis as a message to redirect my life. I set about researching my disease, and soon realised that while the mesothelioma survival statistics were very poor and very few survived, that instead of giving into despair and hopelessness, I could do much to help my situation, I could do much to help my situation and give my body the best possible chance to control this illness, and to maintain my quality of life.
