Brief Summary

Background:

  • Malignant mesothelioma is a malignancy arising from the mesothelial cells of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, or tunica vaginalis.
  • Mesothelioma accounts for 0.10% of deaths annually in the United States. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is the most common of these, comprising of 80% of the cases with an annual incidence of about 2,500 in the United States.
  • The median survival from diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 12 months. The majority of patients present with stage III or IV disease with 85-90% of patients considered unresectable at diagnosis.
  • Peritoneal mesothelioma has a better prognosis than pleural mesothelioma; nevertheless, patients undergoing therapy for peritoneal mesothelioma have few well-studied treatment options due in large part to the rarity of the disease. Objectives:
  • To allow sample acquisition for use in the study of mesothelioma. Eligibility:
  • All patients age greater than or equal to 2 years with malignant mesothelioma
  • Must be able and willing to provide informed consent if 18 or over; parent or guardian must be able and willing to provide consent for patients under the age of 18 Design:
  • Up to 1000 subjects will be enrolled.
  • Patients will be followed to determine the course of disease and to record any treatment received for mesothelioma.
  • Patients will undergo sampling of blood, urine, tumor and abnormal body fluids for tissue banking.
  • Studies which may be performed on banked material include genetic and genomic studies, establishment of cell cultures and immunologic studies.
