Overall survival of after pleurectomy and HITHOC concerning histology and resection status. (A) Overall survival of the whole cohort (n=71) with 16.1 months [median (95% CI)]; (B) overall survival regarding the histologic subtype of MPM with significant differences between epithelioid and sarcomatoid subtype (P=0.0006) and epithelioid and biphasic subtype (P=0.0281). No significant difference between sarcomatoid and biphasic subtype (Log-rank test); (C) overall survival for epithelioid subtype regarding macroscopic complete versus incomplete resection with significant difference (P<0.0001). MPM, malignant pleural mesothelioma.
