P33. Potential clinical relevance of in vitro migratory activity in malignant pleural mesothelioma

摘要

BackgroundMalignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) displays locally invasive behavior and local recurrence. Recently we demonstrated that MPM cells have a high migratory potential in vitro. Accordingly, in the present study the correlation of in vitro migration with histological subtype and clinical outcome has been investigated.
