MESOTHELIOMA TREATMENT
Mind-Body Medicine:
An Overview

Though there is no known cure for mesothelioma -- an asbestos-related cancer of the internal organs, particularly the lungs -- patients may benefit in various ways from mind-body medicine.

Mind-body medicine is concerned with the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and on the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual and behavioral factors can directly affect health.

It regards as fundamental an approach that respects and enhances each person's capacity for self-knowledge and self-care, and it emphasizes techniques that are grounded in this approach.
