Treatment of Diarrhea Caused by Chemotherapy in Mesothelioma Patients

Patients diagnosed with mesothelioma are often treated with chemotherapy. One of the side effects of the treatment is that it can cause diarrhea.

If your physician determines that the chemotherapy being used to treat your cancer is contributing to your diarrhea, s/he may prescribe medications that act on your bowel activity, slowing it to allow your intestines to absorb nutrients from food and liquids.

There are a number of different medication approaches to controlling chemotherapy-caused diarrhea, and your health care team will work to find the best approach for you.
