Mesothelioma
Results
Phase 2
This trial compared the usual dose of radiotherapy with a higher dose to treat pain caused by mesothelioma.
It was for people whose mesothelioma started in the 2 sheets of tissue known as pleural membranes (or pleura). The pleura covers the lungs. When a cancer starts here it is called a pleural mesothelioma.
The trial was open for people to join between 2016 and 2022. The team presented the results in 2024.
Recruitment start: 16 August 2016
Recruitment end: 31 August 2022
Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.
