About Mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body's internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the disease, accounting for roughly 70% of cases, and occurs in the lining of the lung known as the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.Tags

Im not a heme/onc specialist but this is usually a late presenting and rapidly fatal disease. They only way to treat it is avoiding exposure.

there isn’t a cure. treatment is chemotherapy, radiation therapy and sometimes surgery.

Treatment of malignant mesothelioma at an early stage has a better prognosis, then one found later of course but cures are exceedingly rare. it is treated with chemotherapies and multimodality treatments. (a comb of all or some of either surgery,radiation and chemo). median survival is 14.5 months and only 29.6% surviving 2 years

I’m sorry, but Tom is right, it can’t be cured. The symptoms can be controlled, the severity can be managed to a degree, but the progress of Asbestosis cannot be halted or reversed. The best management is to avoid it in the first place – which brings in various issues on policies in the workplace, environmental pollution, even basic human rights.
