Mesothelioma is diagnosed at a stage when it is at very advanced. Although at this advanced stage no cure is possible but physicians can help you to make some comfort for you. It all depends on the location and time for the treatment.
Some of the Possible Treatment for Mesothelioma are
Surgery : This is done to remove all the tumor from the infected region but as the stage advanced physician become unable to remove this. Also not all the Mesothelioma victims can get surgery treatment because it depends on the stage of Mesothelioma, victim’s health history and some other factors. Surgery may be done for
- Decreasing Fluid Buildup : As we know now that increment in the fluid so much makes Mesothelioma occur. So if there is much fluid in chest that makes Pleural mesothelioma then surgeons insert a tube to drain out the access fluid and drop some medicine for preventing the excess fluid.
- Removing Tissues : Surgeons also try to remove the tissues around the lungs and abdominal to reduce as much as they can to stop the Mesothelioma.
- Debulking : This is what they can do at last that is try to remove as much tumor they can and this is done one or two times.
Radiation Therapy : This is the main treatment of any cancer. In this, high energy beams are focused onto the infected area in addition not to cause damage for the surrounding parts. This is done after the Surgery do gain much advantage. Basically this treatment is done when victim is very weak and can’t get the surgery and other treatment. This treatment makes Mesothelioma to delay in progress.
Chemotherapy : This type of treatment uses the drugs and chemicals to kill the infected cells. This treatment may be done before surgery or after surgery. Chemotherapy drugs may be used in chest or abdominal cavity for the treatment. But this treatment have other side effect also because of these chemicals that kills infected cells but also affects other cells also. That reduces the immune system of the victim and give the symptoms like hair loss.
Combination Therapy : This therapy includes the combination of all the three described above which can’t be given to every person. The possible people who can be treated through this therapy are young people and one who are at curable stage. This is the most promising therapy for any type of Mesothelioma.
After all this is hope and believe that is very helpful at the end to fight with these types of massive diseases.
