Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma historically carried a grim prognosis, but outcomes have improved substantially in recent decades. The prognostic significance of clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features remains ill-defined. This multi-institutional cohort comprises 225 malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas, which were assessed for 21 clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical parameters. For epithelioid mesotheliomas, combining nuclear pleomorphism and mitotic index yielded a composite nuclear grade, using a previously standardized grading system. Correlation of clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical parameters with overall and disease-free survival was examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. On univariate analysis, longer overall survival was significantly associated with diagnosis after 2000 (P = 0.0001), age <60 years (P = 0.0001), ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (P = 0.01), absence of radiographic lymph-node metastasis (P = 0.04), cytoreduction surgery (P < 0.0001), hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (P = 0.0001), peritoneal carcinomatosis index <27 (P = 0.01), absence of necrosis (P = 0.007), and epithelioid histotype (P < 0.0001). Among epithelioid malignant mesotheliomas only, longer overall survival was further associated with female sex (P = 0.03), tubulopapillary architecture (P = 0.005), low nuclear pleomorphism (P < 0.0001), low mitotic index (P = 0.0007), and low composite nuclear grade (P < 0.0001). On multivariate analyses, the low composite nuclear grade was independently associated with longer overall and disease-free survival (P < 0.0001). Our data further clarify the interactions of clinical and pathologic features in peritoneal mesothelioma prognosis and validate the prognostic significance of a standardized nuclear-grading system in epithelioid malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum.
