Brief Summary  

Study design: Retrospective study

Study setting: Medical Oncology Parel, TMH, and ACTREC, Kharghar

Study duration: January 2014 to December 2023

Study population: Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma treated in Parel TMH in the determined time period

Study methodology: It is a hospital based retrospective study. All the patients who received treatment at Parel TMH from January 2014 to December 2023 will be analyzed. All data will be collected from the electronic medical record of the hospital. The details will be captured as mentioned in the case report form.

Objectives:

  • Primary objective: To study the survival outcomes of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma patients
  • Secondary objective: To analyze the baseline demographic characteristics of peritoneal mesothelioma patients and to assess the molecular characteristics of peritoneal mesothelioma patients by using NGS

Sample size: 60 to 70 patients who underwent treatment from January 2014 to December 2023 will be included in this study

Molecular analysis: NGS will be performed on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue

Ethics: Waiver of consent is requested as the study involves less than minimal risk and there is no direct contact between the researcher and the participant

Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics for demographic and clinical variables will be performed. Kaplan Meier method will be used for survival analysis. The data will be analyzed in IBM SPSS v25
