EPP has been applied to MPM for a long time, but the postoperative status is extremely poor due to the loss of one whole lung. We compared the mortality, morbidity and median survival time (MST) of lung-sparing surgery (extended P\/D or P\/D) and lung-sacrificing surgery (EPP) for MPM by performing a systematic review. Methods: We extracted the number of events and patients from the literature identified in electronic databases. Ultimately, 15 reports were selected, and 2674 MPM patients, including 1434 patients undergoing EPP and 1240 patients undergoing extended P\/D or P\/D, were analyzed. Results: Our systematic review showed that lung-sparing surgery was significantly superior to lung-sacrificing surgery in both the surgical-related mortality (extended P\/D vs. EPP: 3.19% vs. 7.65%, p &lt; 0.01; P\/D vs. EPP: 1.85% vs. 7.34%, p &lt; 0.01) and morbidity (extended P\/D vs. EPP: 35.7% vs. 60.0%, p &lt; 0.01; P\/D vs. EPP: 9.52% vs. 20.89%, p &lt; 0.01). Lung-sparing surgery was not inferior to EPP in terms of MST. Conclusion: Although no prospective randomized controlled trial has been conducted, it may be time to change the standard surgical method for MPM from lung-sacrificing surgery to lung-sparing surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9072153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,10]],"date-time":"2020-07-10T09:45:31Z","timestamp":1594374331000},"page":"2153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Should Lung-Sparing Surgery Be the Standard Procedure for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1293-6952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshinobu","family":"Ichiki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery, National Hospital Organization, Saitama Hospital, 2-1 Suwa, Wako, Saitama 351-0102, Japan"},{"name":"Second Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Kitakyushu 807-8555, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hidenori","family":"Goto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery, National Hospital Organization, Saitama Hospital, 2-1 Suwa, Wako, Saitama 351-0102, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Fukuyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biomedical Research, Kitasato University Medical Center, Kitamoto 364-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kozo","family":"Nakanishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery, National Hospital Organization, Saitama Hospital, 2-1 Suwa, Wako, Saitama 351-0102, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"754","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcts.2009.04.043","article-title":"Lung decortication for chronic empyema: Effects on pulmonary function and thoracic asymmetry in the late period","volume":"36","author":"Gokce","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur.
