This study used a multicenter cohort in Italy to identify prognostic indicators for 3-year survival in patients who had undergone extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for mesothelioma. 23% lived 3 years or longer. This survival was related to age, epitheliod histology, lack of asbestos exposure, and involved LN ratio. A risk score for survival was developed based on these factors.
