Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells Combining chemotherapy radiation therapy and interferon alfa may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of cisplatin plus interferon alfa followed by surgery and interferon alfa plus radiation therapy in treating patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD of neoadjuvant interferon alfa 2b IFN-A2b administered with cisplatin in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma II Determine the MTD of IFN-A2b administered with radiation therapy and cisplatin after surgery in these patients III Determine the response rate and toxicity of induction therapy with IFN-A2b and cisplatin in these patients IV Determine the toxicity of concurrent radiation therapy cisplatin and IFN-A2b after surgery in these patients V Determine the local control rate freedom from progression median survival and long term survival of these patients after combined modality therapy

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study Patients receive induction therapy consisting of cisplatin IV weekly and interferon alfa 2b IFN-A2b subcutaneously three times a week for 6 weeks Patients who experience at least 25 tumor shrinkage receive another 4 weeks of therapy Patients then undergo debulking surgery to remove all gross tumor if possible If this resection is performed then patients begin radiation therapy 2-6 weeks after surgery Patients with unresectable tumors begin radiation therapy 2-4 weeks after the last course of induction chemotherapy Patients undergo radiation therapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks Concurrently patients receive cisplatin IV weekly and IFN-A2b subcutaneously three times a week Cohorts of 4 patients each receive escalated doses of IFN-A2b during induction chemotherapy Once the maximum tolerated dose MTD of IFN-A2b is established one dose level below this dose is used for the beginning doses of IFN-A2b during adjuvant chemotherapy If no unacceptable toxic effects occur then the dose of IFN-A2b is escalated to the induction MTD Patients are followed at 3-6 weeks after completing radiochemotherapy then every 3 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years
