Treatment for Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma Surgery

Though typically only available in the first two stages, surgery is the only treatment option known to significantly extend life.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy circulates medication through the bloodstream, which slows or kills additional cancer growth.

Radiation

High levels of radiation targeted at the affected area may kill cancerous cells and stop the growth of new cells.

Multimodal

A specialist combines a number of different treatment options that work together, such as surgery and chemotherapy.

Clinical Trials

There are many clinical studies being conducted to evaluate and develop new treatments. These clinical trials are an additional option to consider for patients and may lead to a future cure.
Alternative Treatment - Some survivors credit alternative health options as instrumental in their recovery. Examples include yoga, meditation, and acupuncture.
