Malignant Mesothelioma: A Clinical Study of 238 Cases
Open accessAbstract
Malignant mesothelioma is a diffuse tumor arising in the pleura, peritoneum, or other serosal surface and is closely associated with asbestos exposure. An estimated 2,500 to 3,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. Although there are individual case reports and small series detailing the clinical aspects of mesothelioma, few studies examine a large series of patients with malignant mesothelioma from the clinical perspective. This study reports on the findings of 238 cases of malignant mesothelioma from a private consultative medical practice. Most cases had a history of occupational asbestos exposure. The mean latency was 48.5 yr, with women having a longer latency than men. The mean age at diagnosis was 70. Survival overall was poor (mean 8.8 months), but treatment was beneficial (mean 11.3 versus 6.4 months). Epithelioid histology conferred a survival advantage over sarcomatoid and responded better to treatment. Our data support an inverse relationship between asbestos dose and latency.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The association between sex and mesothelioma has not been consistent in the literature ( Metintas et al , 1999 ; Hyland et al , 2007 ; Haber and Haber, 2011 ).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Haber and Haber (2011) found that women had longer latencies than men, and attributed this to women tending to have lower exposures than men due to their mainly non-occupational asbestos exposure.”

“Differences in mesothelioma latency that have been observed—for example, differences by occupation (Bianchi et al, 1997), sex (Haber and Haber, 2011), and source of exposure (Marinaccio et al, 2007)—are often attributed to differences in the intensity of exposure to asbestos.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
