NCT ID NCT00715611
First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new radiation method (IMRT) for people with malignant pleural mesothelioma, a rare lung cancer. Participants first have surgery to remove the lung lining and then receive chemotherapy, followed by targeted radiation. The main goal is to see if this approach causes fewer severe lung side effects than standard radiation. About 65 adults aged 18 to 80 with early-stage disease are taking part.
