Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Standard chemotherapy or investigational agents used to treat patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer arising from the mesothelium of the pleural cavity, that is typically caused by previous inhalation of asbestos fibres.
Typical standard chemotherapy may include a combination of a platinum compound with pemetrexed or gemcitabine. Other chemotherapy agents that could be used include single agent vinorelbine and gemcitabine.
Patients who are enrolled in other clinical trials using an investigational agent may be eligible for this observational study also.
Duration of observation is from commencement of chemotherapy to death.
