Background: The genetic variants of LMNA cause an array of diseases that often affect the heart. LMNA-related cardiomyopathy exhibits high-penetrance and early-onset phenotypes that lead to late-stage heart failure or lethal arrhythmia. As a subtype of dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, LMNA-related cardiac dysfunction is resistant to existing cardiac therapeutic strategies, leaving a major unmet clinical need in cardiomyopathy management.

Introduction: The phase 3 randomized controlled trial of extended pleurectomy decortication and chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for pleural mesothelioma (PM) (MARS2) reported "extended pleurectomy decortication was associated with worse survival to 2 years, and more serious adverse events for individuals with resectable PM, compared with chemotherapy alone." These results have led to considerable discourse regarding the future role of surgery for PM, and there has not been unanimity in the mesothelioma surgical community regarding the trial interpretation. This "perspective" evaluates MARS2 using internationally renowned PM experts who either agreed with the trial interpretation or who found issues with its conduct which may have influenced the results.
