摘要：
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive tumor where the ability to control the primary tumor (local control) presents a significant challenge. External beam radiation has the potential to improve local control when following established safe and effective protocols. Radiation is primarily used as adjuvant treatment after extrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decortication and as palliative treatment in some cases. The target volume for radiotherapy of malignant pleural mesothelioma can be quite extensive and thus toxicity is its chief limitation.
