Treatment of mesothelioma IMPRINT radiotherapy physician, in order to improve the quality of life of patients radiation procedures have expression of active living and secondary tumors, can be combined safely and effectively in the lung sparing surgery in was confirmed organization. After ten years of refinement, as part of the recent developments a small number of specialized center for mesothelioma, using the intensity modulation processing (IMPRINT), it is useful to have it multidisciplinary treatment in the pleural radiation. Radiation oncologist Dr. Kenneth "We are, all of the centers of the treatment of mesothelioma experience their own armory to put another in the now technology, as we hope that you have to consider this," Mount Sinai medical Center of Rosenzweig told Asbestos.com. "Technology, we shall be caught up in what you need to help these patients is interesting." Rosenzweig has to treat mesothelioma in 20 years. He, early contributors to the recent multi-center, radiation pneumonitis (RP), was the harmful side effects of the possibility of Phase II of the IMPRINT study that found the low interest rates of acceptance. The Journal of Clinical Oncology has published a study in June. In the study, Rosenzweig, including the patient in the Cancer Center in New York who worked on before, Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Center. Support the lung-sparing surgery these findings, experts between in the lungs of mesothelioma increasingly should strengthen the trust relationship sparing / peeling (P / D) for the details of most candidate pleural pneumonectomy surgery pleurectomy it is a good choice (EPP), to remove the entire lung. Technology of the past success in reducing the risk of recurrence after conventional radiation EPP area is, after surgery to lung toxicity accompanied not to the same dose level secure way excessive to provide the is a difficult art P / D. surgeon, if they did not remove the lung, and the patient does not require subsequent radiation, there was no way to do it effectively. It spoke of the "Rosenzweig how we are" one of the problems was trying to pass the thing was that it is a challenge. "But, now I, resection the surgeon has been more limited (P / D ) If there is a concern that the production of, we think it is possible to relieve it at this point. " in the test, it began with 45 patients who received pemetrexed and cisplatin or carboplatin chemotherapy. Those eighteen, the complications of chemotherapy, do not become the object of the progression of the disease, it will refuse to surgery and radiation therapy. Researchers are beginning to the rest of the participants and the IMPRINT phase. Rate of side effects management eight eligible patients have pneumonia grade 2 or grade 3 radiation, symptoms such as pneumonia developed to create conditions. All of 8, however, rapid recovery after corticosteroid therapy. No grade of radiation pneumonitis 4 or does Mase five cases. 21 patients were undergoing surgery of the P / D. The other six, but I did not have the surgery during the chemotherapy and radiation therapy that was considered not to be cut off. The average progression-free survival and survival rate of all patients, respectively, 12.4 months, was 23.7 months. 80% and 59% survival rate of the entire surgical patients in the two years to the year. Although one year survival rate was 74 percent for those with the can not disease be removed, the 2-year survival rate drops to 25 percent. Chemotherapy response, according to the authors, has played a major role in the survival rate. There is a 100% survival rate one year and 53 percent two-year survival rate for those with at least a partial response to chemotherapy. "We know that radiation after surgery to reduce the potential for tumor is returned, to provide it safely when the lung is still in there is very difficult," Rosenzweig was told. "10 -.. in 12 years, we have to deliver it safely, we have been working on this technology which is very reassuring," Rosenzweig, the research results technology IMPRINT It believed to encourage a lot of cancer centers than include. He also, the next step is large, we believe randomization, and that the multi-center study is that there is still compelling, and ultimately to improve the treatment options for mesothelioma patients. Even if "radiation therapy is not the last, it is still we are is that whether good or can get a significant amount of quality time in the patient with a minimum of side effects," he said. "It is a sign that things are getting better."
