Surgery for 'unremovable' mesothelioma? new study tests symptom relief
NCT ID NCT07126509
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a surgery called partial pleurectomy (removing part of the lung lining) can help with symptoms and quality of life in people with advanced pleural mesothelioma that cannot be fully removed. About 30 participants will have the surgery and fill out symptom questionnaires for up to 2 years. The goal is to see if the procedure reduces symptom burden and how long people live after surgery.
