Purpose : To provide evidence-based recommendations to practicing physicians and others on the management of pleural mesothelioma (PM).

Methods : ASCO convened an Expert Panel of medical oncology, thoracic surgery, radiation oncology, pathology, cancer genetics, and advocacy experts to conduct an updated literature search, which included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and prospective and retrospective comparative observational studies published from 2016 through 2024. Outcomes of interest included survival, disease-free or recurrence-free survival, and quality of life. Expert Panel members used available evidence and informal consensus to develop evidence-based guideline recommendations.

Results : The literature search identified 110 additional relevant studies to inform the evidence base for this guideline.

Recommendations : Evidence-based recommendations were developed for surgical cytoreduction, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, pathology, and germline testing in patients with PM.
