What treatment is available for Mesothelioma?

Frequently Asked Mesothelioma Questions

Treatment of mesothelioma depends on the stage of the disease. Surgery is normally performed if the cancer is localized. The oncologist, or cancer specialist, will extract the affected part of the chest lining and nearby tissue. If the pleura is affected, a lung and part of the diaphragm may need to be removed.

Radiation therapy can also be used. This procedure uses targeted ionizing radiation to kill malignant cells. If the cancer has spread, a doctor will most likely use chemotherapy, which utilizes anti-cancer medications.

To relieve pain and other symptoms, a doctor will insert a tube to drain fluid from the abdomen or chest.
