Mesothelioma patients often require surgery
Surgery is a typical procedure for mesothelioma patients.
A pleurectomy/decortication is the most common surgery, in which the lining of the chest is removed.
Less common is an extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP), in which the lung, lining of the inside of the chest, the hemi-diaphragm and the pericardium are removed.
