“…In a subsequent update they described some symptomatic relief in over half of patients without evidence of dose response [47]. The first prospective assessment of the role of radiotherapy in palliation was performed in Glasgow in the 1980s [48]. Twenty-two patients received 30 Gy in 10 fractions to the whole hemithorax for pain; 13 had less pain at 1 month, but this had fallen to 3 by 3 months and 1 by 5 months.…”

“…When used alone, radiotherapy appeared to be ineffective in prolonging survival in MPM patients [146,147,148]. On the other hand, radiotherapy can be performed to palliate symptoms, especially to control pain [146, 149]. However, the duration of response, if there is one, is often short [149].…”

“…On the other hand, radiotherapy can be performed to palliate symptoms, especially to control pain [146, 149]. However, the duration of response, if there is one, is often short [149]. Prophylactic local radiation therapy to prevent parietal seeding after diagnostic examinations (thoracentesis, thoracoscopy, chest tube drainage) was demonstrated to be effective [150].…”

“…However, it should be mentioned that the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of MPM, except for palliative treatment, is, at present, not clearly defined. Different studies demonstrated that radiation therapy can reduce symptoms like dyspnea, dysphagia, vena cava obstruction, and especially pain in up to two thirds of cases [3,9,10]. For palliative treatment, only the areas of the lesions were treated which caused symptoms.…”
