Abstract: PURPOSE To explore the use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after lung-sparing surgery in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Because severe toxicities have been documented following radiotherapy for MPM, its use remains controversial, especially as modern surgical… read more here.
