ObjectivePleura and Peritoneumis the official journal of theInternational Society for the Study of Pleura and Peritoneum(ISSPP).Peritoneal and pleural infections and oncological diseases often result in life-threatening conditions. However, the pleura (serous membrane, which forms the lining of the pleural cavity) and the peritoneum (serous membrane, which forms the lining of the abdominal cavity) have been relatively poorly studied, as compared to other organs. In sharp contrast to the skin, which i s recognized as an organ and object of a medical specialty, pleura and peritoneum are only considered as membranes. This might be explained by the fact that these organs cannot be seen, neither by clinical examination nor by radiological methods.Pleura and Peritoneumwants to change this by creating a high-level exchange platform for basic scientists, clinical researche r s and physicians.Pleura and Peritoneumis published quarterly.
