If you have recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma,
you might be wondering what your treatment options are. It is estimated
that patients have twelve to eighteen months to live after diagnosis,
but that is not the case for everyone. There are several treatments
available for mesothelioma patients, with new ones emerging each day.
• A type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.
This cancer is usually considered a tumor of the pleura and not a type of lung cancer.
• Cancer involving the pleura (the membranes that cover the lungs).
• A cancer of the lining of the lungs, chest and stomach caused by inhalation of asbestos dust and fibers or asbestos exposure
• A cancer of cells similar to those forming the lining of the lungs, heart, the abdominal cavity and its organs.
• A malignant tumor covering the lining of the lung and often associated with asbestos exposure.
• A tumor or tumors affecting the lining of the chest or abdomen.
• A malignant tumor of mesothelium caused by the inhalation of asbestos
• A tumor in the lining of the lungs. Mesothelioma is linked almost exclusively to asbestos exposure.
