Résumé

Le mésothéliome pleural malin (MPM) est une maladie néoplasique rare, avec environ 1 000 nouveaux cas chaque année en France. Est-ce pour autant une maladie orpheline ? C’est-à-dire une maladie rare pour laquelle aucun traitement efficace n’est disponible ? L’objectif de cet article est de répondre à cette question, à travers une mise au point sur la prise en charge thérapeutique du MPM en 2016.

Abstract

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare neoplastic disease, with approximately 1,000 new cases each year in France. Is it an orphan disease? Namely, a rare disease for which no effective treatment is available. The objective of this article is to answer this question through a focus on the therapeutic management of MPM in 2016.
