Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive disease with a strong causal relationship with asbestos exposure, posing challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Timely and accurate staging using available imaging techniques is crucial for effective management. Our aim is to provide an updated overview of the role of multimodal medical imaging in PM management.
Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive disease that has a strong causal relationship with asbestos exposure and represents a major challenge from both a diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoint. Despite recent improvements in patient care, PM typically carries a poor outcome, especially in advanced stages. Therefore, a timely and effective diagnosis taking advantage of currently available imaging techniques is essential to perform an accurate staging and dictate the most appropriate treatment strategy. Our aim is to provide a brief, but exhaustive and up-to-date overview of the role of multimodal medical imaging in the management of PM.
