Question by Ana: What are some mesothelioma treatments?

Best answer:

Answer by sweetsico
The treatment program for mesothelioma depends on many factors, including: the stage of the cancer, where the cancer is, how far the cancer has spread, how the cancer cells look under the microscope and the patient’s age and desires.

There are three traditional kinds of treatment for patients with malignant mesothelioma:

•Surgery (taking out the cancer)
•Chemotherapy (using drugs to fight the cancer)
•Radiation Therapy (using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)
Often two or more of these are combined in the course of treatment. (NEW! Click here for the newest trial of trimodal lung-sparing treatment for pleural mesothelioma: The Columbia Protocol.)
