N2 - Objective: Trimodality therapy may prolong survival for patients with resectable malignant pleural mesothelioma. However, many patients are unable to complete therapy. We sought to identify risk factors for failing to complete adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy after cytoreduction for malignant pleural mesothelioma. Methods: We performed a single-institution review of those who received an extrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma from 2004 to 2017. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess preoperative or intraoperative risk factors associated with failing to complete adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Results: A total of 160 patients were identified, among whom 94 (59%) received an extrapleural pneumonectomy and 66 (41%) received a pleurectomy/decortication. Adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy was completed among 105 patients (66%). Reasons for failing to complete adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy included mortality (19), dose constraints (21), postoperative morbidity or delayed recovery (11), and refused or unknown status (4). On multivariable analysis, American Society of Anesthesiologists 3+ classification (P =.002) and smoking history (P =.022) were associated with failure to complete adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy, whereas forced expiratory volume in 1 second 70% or less of predicted and pStage 4 (T4) were significant on univariable analysis only. Other factors, including extrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decortication, margin status, age, and histology, were not associated with receiving adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Conclusions: Many patients are unable to complete adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy after cytoreduction. Failure to complete adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy was associated with worse preoperative comorbidity, but not the type of surgery or margin status.
