Medical - Medical (general) / Death from pleural mesothelioma
French term or phrase: en première intention [here]
Hello
"first-line [treatment" doesn't seem to work here, so I just wanted to check that this means "primarily". Here is the context:

En conclusion, je pense que cette prolifération tumorale évoque en première intention un mésothéliome malin biphasique.

Thank you!
