Overview of Mesothelioma Treatments

According to the National Cancer Institute, treatment for mesothelioma depends chiefly on the following three factors:
  • location of the cancer,
  • stage of the disease,
  • and the patient's age and general health.

    Standard treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Sometimes, these treatments are combined.

    Surgery Overview:
    Surgery is commonly used to treat mesothelioma. The doctor may remove part of the lining of the chest or abdomen and some of the tissue around it. For cancer of the pleura (pleural mesothelioma), a lung may be removed in an operation called a pneumonectomy. Sometimes part of the diaphragm, the muscle below the lungs that helps with breathing, is also removed.

    Radiation Therapy Overview:
    Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) involves the use of high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy affects the cancer cells only in the treated area. The radiation may come from a machine (external radiation) or from putting materials that produce radiation through thin plastic tubes into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy).

    Chemotherapy Overview:
    Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Most drugs used to treat mesothelioma are given by injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV). Doctors are also studying the effectiveness of putting chemotherapy directly into the chest or abdomen (intracavitary chemotherapy).

    Our firm understands the challenges a family contends with after a mesothelioma diagnosis. We have been fighting for the rights of those with asbestos illness since 1986, winning verdicts and settlements along the way for our clients.

    If you are interested in learning more about filing a claim for compensation, our firm can lead you through the process and champion your rights, too.
