Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive malignancy for which surgical treatment is an option for a subset of patients. A gene ratio test based on the relative expression levels of four genes has been validated in clinical trials to predict which patients will benefit from surgical therapy. A description of the test properties and the independent predictors for outcome are provided.Entities:
