Description
Postoperative radiotherapy after extrapleural pneumonectomy of malignant pleural mesothelioma was investigated in the randomized phase II trial SAKK17/04. The relapse rate within the high and/or low-dose PTV without previous distant failure was 24%, the isolated in-field-relapse rate within the PTVs was 5% and the distant relapse rate outside of the PTVs was 81%. Clinical outcome was mainly determined by distant disease progression outside of the radiation field.
