MD Anderson researchers say too many patients who might benefit from IMRT for mesothelioma never complete the treatment. The problem could be impacting their survival. Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is a type of targeted radiation. It is designed to direct as much radiation as possible into the mesothelioma tumor without harming the surrounding tissue. Patients who have a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and IMRT for mesothelioma have the best odds of survival.

A 2017 MD Anderson study found that trimodal therapy including IMRT for mesothelioma extended survival by nearly nine months. Epithelioid mesothelioma patients who had this treatment lived an average of 23.
