New radiation approach shows promise for mesothelioma patients

This study tests a new way to give radiation therapy to people with malignant pleural mesothelioma, a rare and serious lung cancer. The treatment uses a special machine called Tomotherapy to deliver high doses of radiation over just 5 days. The goal is to see if this short, intense treatment is safe and helps control the disease after surgery. The study includes 30 adults aged 18 to 85 with good overall health.
