This study evaluated adjuvant helical tomotherapy after extrapleural pneumonectomy ± neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in 24 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Toxicity was judged acceptable despite 2 cases (8%) of suspected grade 5 pneumonitis. With a mean follow-up of 7 months, 5 patients had distant and 2 local and distant failure.
