Combined cancer therapies most effective to treat mesothelioma

Description

Cancer researchers from The University of Western Australia have found a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments can yield positive results for patients with mesothelioma.

The study, published in The Lancet Oncology, was the first reported trial to test the combination of an immune checkpoint inhibitor, which blocks proteins from binding together, with chemotherapy drugs in patients with advanced mesothelioma.
