The purpose was to evaluate safety and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) following extra-pleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). ⋯ IMRT following EPP achieved excellent local control for MPM, that might lead to the long-term survival in selected patients. However, treatment burden including acute and late toxicities should be considered in this treatment approach.
