Pleural mesothelioma is a rare but fatal tumour. Numerous attempts to find effective treatment approaches have, in general, been disappointing. To date, the most promising treatment is surgery, or surgery in combination with radio and chemotherapy as a part of a multidisciplinary approach. Preliminary results from clinical trials evaluating intensity modulated radiotherapy are encouraging. Further randomised trials are proposed.
胸膜间皮瘤是一种罕见但致命的肿瘤。总体而言,众多寻找有效治疗方法的尝试都令人失望。迄今为止,最有前景的治疗方法是手术,或作为多学科方法的一部分,将手术与放疗和化疗联合使用。评估调强放疗的临床试验初步结果令人鼓舞。建议开展进一步的随机试验。
