Treatment Options

1. How malignant mesotheliomia is treated?

    As scientists continue to look for a mesotheliomia cure, the following treatments have shown promise in controlling this disease. There are treatments for all patients with malignant mesotheleoma. Three traditional kinds of treatment are used:

  • Surgery (taking out the cancer)
  • Radiation therapy (using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)
  • Chemotherapy (using drugs to fight the cancer).
  • Adjunctive Drug Treatment (Non-traditional drugs as part of the cancer treatment).

2. Treatment by stage
