1 Pleurectomy/Decortication is Superior to Extrapleural Pneumonectomy in the Multimodality Management of Patients with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma  Loïc Lang-Lazdunski, MD, Andrea Bille, MD, Rohit Lal, PhD, Paul Cane, FRCPath, Emma McLean, FRCPath, David Landau, FRCP, Jeremy Steele, PhD, James Spicer, PhD  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages (April 2012) DOI: /JTO.0b013e31824ab6c5 Copyright © 2012 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Overall survival following EPP versus P/D. EPP, extrapleural pneumonectomy; P/D, pleurectomy/decortication; CI, confidence interval.

3 Figure 2 Overall survival following EPP versus P/D in patients with epithelioid histology. EPP, extrapleural pneumonectomy; P/D, pleurectomy/decortication; MPM, malignant pleural mesothelioma; CI, confidence interval.

4 Figure 3 Impact of complete macroscopic resection on survival. There is no statistical difference in terms of survival between incomplete macroscopic resection in P/D patients and in complete macroscopic resection in EPP patients (p = 0.2). EPP, extrapleural pneumonectomy; P/D, pleurectomy/decortication; CI, confidence interval.
