| description | Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is rare. It is difficult to diagnose early and responds poorly to treatment. There is no optimal and effective treating consensus so far. We report three patients of MPM treated at Mackay Memorial Hospital in recent 3 years. They were two men and one woman without asbestos exposure related to their occupations. Due to failure in early diagnosis of MPM, none of them survived for more than 5 months. We make a brief review from the previous literature. These three cases were compared with the reviewing data in many aspects including the risk factor, clinical presentation, diagnostic options, and management. Besides, some latest clinical trials are introduced in this report. |
