An awareness of MPM is important to prevent misdiagnosis. Immunohistochemistry has an important role in confirming the diagnosis. MPM remains a difficult therapeutic challenge. Thorough cytoreductive surgery is the cornerstone of current treatment while HIIC is a promising strategy in suitable patients.

Despite low incidence, some epidemiological features of gastric cancer in Jordan mimic those of high-risk areas. Patients are detected and treated after a relatively long delay. No justification in favor of a possible gastric cancer screening effort in Jordan is supported by our study; rather, the need of an earlier diagnosis and subsequent better care.
