A diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma can be pretty hard to cope with for anyone and its not just the patient who suffers, their family, friends and co-workers are all effected as well.  Fortunately though modern medical research is breaking new ground and these days the chances of fighting off the cancer are better than ever.  There are even instances where mesothelioma victims have developed successful treatment programs that worked in their particular case, such as Paul Krauss, who was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 1997 and is still alive today.

Here are some of the modern treatments for malignant mesothelioma;

  • Surgery
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radiation Therapy
  • Combination Therapies: Surgery, Chemotherapy & Radiation Therapy
  • Clinical Trials: New and Experimental Treatments
  • Biologic Therapy
For specific information about these treatments please refer to our malignant mesothelioma treatments page and this section from the National Cancer Institute’s website (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/malignantmesothelioma/patient/allpages#Section_50)  at Cancer.gov.  The National Cancer Institute provides in depth details about these procedures that will be important for patients and their families.  The Mayo Clinic also has a useful article on the treatments for mesothelioma here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mesothelioma/DS00779/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs.
