| Research Abstract |
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is widely resistant to therapies, and new treatment starategies are needed. Recent reports have indicated the potential efficacy of statins against malignant pleural mesothelioma cells in vitro. Here we show that lovastatin reduces primary tumor and metastasis in a mouse model of human malignant pleural mesothelioma, and that induction of autophagic changes may at least in part be involved in this process.
