Overview

NCI Definition: A benign or malignant mesothelial neoplasm that arises from the peritoneum. [1]

Peritoneal mesotheliomas most frequently harbor alterations in BAP1, NF2, TP53, SETD2, and CDKN2A [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Peritoneal Mesothelioma

BAP1 Loss, BAP1 Mutation, TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and TP53 Missense are the most common alterations in peritoneal mesothelioma [2].
