Abstract:

Despite improved surgical techniques and the addition of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, only a few therapeutic advances were achieved in the treatment of pleural mesothelioma. This seems to be different if the mistletoe of the elm is used either partially or primarily. All 8 patients treated in practice in the last 13 years are documented. Median survival increases to more than five years.
