    Abstract:
    Mesothelioma which is the primary tumor of the pleura has recently been subject to many researches because of its poor prognosis and the difficulties met in radical therapy. Between 1974-1986 total 46 patients with pleural mesothelioma were treated surgically at our center. Finally it was concluded that only the cases in stage I and with epithelial malignant pleural mesothelioma should be subjected to radical surgery. The remaining patients should be treated with conservative methods.
