Abstract

Mesothelioma is an asbestos related cancer with a poor prognosis. While immunotherapy could enhance overall survival in mesothelioma, durable treatment response was only restricted to a subset of patients. Therefore, identifying strategies that accurately predict treatment responses is urgent to improve therapeutic outcomes. Using an asbestos induced tumour biobank derived from CC-MexTAg mouse model, we performed comprehensive transcriptomic and cellular analyses to develop a 6-gene mesothelioma prognostic signature. This gene signature could accurately predict survival in multiple human mesothelioma datasets, demonstrating the value of using pre-clinical models to inform clinical outcomes.
