57 Concurrent lung tumours and mesothelioma
The North-East of England has one of the highest incidence and case fatality rates for mesothelioma in the United Kingdom. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has seen 317 cases from January 2009 till July 2023. Lung cancer appears simultaneously in approximately 1% of mesothelioma patients.1 We performed a review of the local database to ascertain our local incidence. (Source: Lung Cancer)

59 Immunotherapy Toxicities in Real-World Use of Nivolumab & Ipilimumab in Pleural Malignant Mesothelioma: Experience from Sussex Cancer Centre
Data from Checkmate 743 (CM743) study has established Nivolumab/ Ipilimumab (N/I) combination immunotherapy as the first line palliative treatment for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM). Since July 2022, N/I have been available on the NHS via the Cancer Drug Fund. We retrospectively assessed the toxicity profile in MPM patients who received N/I as first line palliative treatment.

61 The first-in-class peroxiredoxin 3 (PRX3) inhibitor RSO-021 modulates the mesenchymal and immune phenotype in mesothelioma
RSO-021 is a first-in-class PRX3 inhibitor currently being investigated in a first-in-human phase 1/2 clinical trial called MITOPE, which is currently recruiting patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) arising from mesothelioma or other solid tumors (NCT05278975). Mesothelioma cells rely on buffering of mitochondrial oxidative stress through the expression and activity of mitochondrial PRX3, which is covalently inactivated by RSO-021. Inactivation of PRX3 by RSO-021 leads to increased oxidative stress and tumor cell death. (Source: Lung Cancer)

62 Single-centre DGH experience of using immunotherapy for malignant mesothelioma
The treatment options for mesothelioma has expanded with the availability of immune checkpoint inhibitors; 2nd line Nivolumab in 2020 (interim COVID NICE guidance) and 1st line Ipilimumab& Nivolumab in 2022. This audit provides an overview of our initial experience with these drugs for mesothelioma. (Source: Lung Cancer)

65 Mesothelioma Evolution following a Diagnosis of Benign Pleural Inflammation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Pleural Mesothelioma (PM) may be presaged by benign pleural inflammation, typically labelled non-specific pleuritis (NSP). NSP is common and presents a clinical challenge given divergent rates of subsequent PM in previous studies. Greater clarity on cohorts at highest risk would inform clinical decision-making and ongoing precision PM prevention research. (Source: Lung Cancer)

68 How do family members experience coroner or procurator fiscal involvement following a mesothelioma death?
A death caused by known or suspected mesothelioma in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must, by law, be referred to a coroner for an inquest. In Scotland, the equivalent is referral to the Procurator Fiscal for a Fatal Accident Enquiry. Practice following a mesothelioma death varies across the UK. (Source: Lung Cancer)

69 New research-based resources to facilitate engagement with palliative care for patients and families living with mesothelioma
Patients with mesothelioma (and their families) have palliative care needs across the disease trajectory. However, research in the United Kingdom (UK) from the Mesothelioma UK Research Centre (MURC) found that patients and families can be reluctant to engage with palliative care due to misunderstandings and associations with end-of-life. The aim of the research was to co-produce resources to encourage early-stage engagement with palliative care. (Source: Lung Cancer)
