Treatment

  • When found early, surgery may cure mesothelioma. Having chemotherapy and radiation before the surgery may help increase your chance for a cure.
  • When the disease is too advanced for surgery, chemotherapy or radiation may be used to reduce symptoms, but a cure is usually not possible.
  • Combining certain chemotherapy drugs may help decrease symptoms and improve survival.
  • Consider participating in a clinical trial (test of new treatments), which may give you additional treatment options.
  • Supportive treatment (such as pain relief and oxygen) may also help to relieve symptoms.
