Summary

This study tested a new approach for people with malignant mesothelioma, a rare cancer linked to asbestos. Thirty participants received either radiation alone or radiation plus a low-dose chemotherapy drug before surgery. After surgery, some also got two immunotherapy drugs to try to prevent the cancer from coming back. The goal was to see if the combination boosted the immune system's ability to fight the tumor.
