| Abstract | Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a kind of invasive malignant tumor originated from pleural tissue. The incidence of MPM is not high in the population, but the prognosis is very poor. The median survival time is only about 12 months. Pemetrexed combined with platinum is the first-line chemotherapy regimen recommended by the current guidelines. The use of bevacizumab will further prolong the survival of chemotherapy. Once resistance happened, no anti-tumor treatment has been confirmed to achieve survival benefits. Therefore, there is no recommended standard second-line MPM regimen in international and domestic guidelines, including National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Vinorelbine, gemcitabine and other monotherapy regimens are commonly used in clinical practice, but the median progression free survival (PFS) is only about 3 months. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIS) have been proved to have a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth in a variety of malignant tumors, and their efficacy is related to the expression of programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1). In unresectable MPM, programmed death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 inhibitors have been used in a series of clinical studies in the first-line, second-line and above treatment. Some of the results have been cited and recommended by international guidelines, but the overall efficacy improvement is still limited. This review summarizes the latest clinical studies and researches in the field of MPM treatment and predicts the directions and prospect of improving the therapeutic effect in the future. |
