Para su diagnóstico es necesario realizar una historia clínica laboral y ambiental detallada, analizar el cuadro clínico y estudios paraclínicos, principalmente: tomografía computada y biopsia pleural, la cual es el estándar de oro. La tomografía computada es una prueba no invasiva que puede orientar al diagnóstico de certeza. El tratamiento es principalmente paliativo, y contempla la aplicación de quimioterapia y cirugía en estadios iniciales, por lo que la prevención, mediante la prohibición del uso del asbesto, es la única medida efectiva para detener esta epidemia en México.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma is mainly caused by asbestos exposure. For its diagnosis it is necessary to make a thorough occupational history, to analyze the clinical symptoms and auxiliary tests, being the most important computed tomography and biopsy, which is considered as the gold standard. Computed tomography is relevant because it is a non-invasive test that is usually done first and can lead to diagnostic suspicion for MMP. Treatment is mainly palliative even though chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery have been used, nevertheless prevention, through asbestos banning, is the only effective policy.]]></p></abstract>
