Brief description The drug cyclophosphamide helps the immune system attack cancer by decreasing the number of immune cells that suppress an immune response to cancer ('Regulatory T cells'). This project combines standard chemotherapy with the drug cyclophosphamide in people with mesothelioma and lung cancer. The aim of the project is to find the dose of cyclophosphamide that maximally decreases Regulatory T cells in each patient, and determine the effect of this on anti-tumour immunity and response to treatment.
