25 Conclusion OS after EPP or P/D for MPM does not clearly differ when patients are treated in an experienced center Both procedures are technically demanding and experience is needed Mortality and major morbidity might be lower in P/D Preservation of the lung has an influence on future treatment EPP and P/D are both options to consider and their might be a role for both procedures Dokumentenname Datum Seite 24
