Would you consider radiotherapy for unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma in an asymptomatic patient?  

In a non-surgical candidate, would you consider adding radiotherapy sequenced with chemotherapy at any point? Or do you reserve it for palliative purposes only?

If so, what volume and dose? NCCN guidelines say to consider RT for Stage I-IIIA disease, but do not give further guidance.
