• Description:
  Staging and prognostication for diffuse pleural mesothelioma (PM) are limited by the low incidence, inconsistent patient presentation, and variability in treatment approaches. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) developed the Mesothelioma Domain to evaluate prognostic factors with the goal of improving staging of this rare disease. Accurate prognostication is critical to help with treatment planning and counseling of patients; yet, achieving this goal is difficult owing to the low incidence. Therefore, this international consortium was created to maximize the number of patients and the variables collected. In addition, the robustness and generalizability of the data set enable identification and analysis of significant prognostic factors for patients across many countries and institutions. International collaboration can be leveraged to develop better treatment strategies and ultimately improve patient outcomes. [Description provided by NIOSH]
