pubmed:abstractText |
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) causes symptoms and death mainly due to local progression, even after combined modality treatment. Poor local control after conventional radiotherapy may be due to the low dose of radiation that has been administered or to restriction of the target volume to avoid critical organs. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has the potential to overcome these geometric/dosimetric constraints.
