| 标题： Updates on Guidelines and Biomarkers for Pathologic Diagnosis of Malignant Mesothelioma | |
| 摘要：
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare, aggressive cancer that affects the thin lining of body's internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are about 3,000 new cases of MM each year in the U.S., according to a 2017 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The pathologic diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma (MM) continues to evolve and be refined as more antibodies and molecular tests become available for general use. In this talk, the new guidelines for pathological diagnosis from 2017 International Mesothelioma Interest Group will be presented. In addition, the new emerging biomarkers that are used in immunohistochemical work-ups to aid pathological diagnosis of MM will be discussed.
