CLDN15 is a novel diagnostic marker for malignant pleural mesothelioma

Abstract Malignant mesothelioma is a cancer with a poor survival rate. It is difficult to diagnose mesotheliomas because they show a variety of histological patterns similar to those of various other cancers. However, since currently used positive markers for mesotheliomas may show false positives o...
