Touted mesothelioma is lethal, because most cases, if at advanced stage and doctors have little solace to offer by then. Doctors are still trying their best on the discharge of patients in severe pain mesothelioma with the help of treatment.

Surgery
Before the surgery as one of the proposals for the treatment of malignant cancer, the health of patients must be carefully evaluated. The tests are performed to determine if the cancer is on other parts of the body or not. In addition, patient assessment and heart-lung-function is. In the case of the former, a mesothelioma operation can not be performed. Both the hearts and lungs must be disposed according to the nation for surgery instead.

Surgery is of two kinds: aggressive surgery (long-term control) and the palliative (symptom relief). We define each of them separately.

Aggressive surgery
Remote aggressive surgery containing lungs, pleura, the pericardium and diaphragm by a process known as pleural pneumonectomy extra. The intention to follow this method is to physically remove as much tumor as possible. It is indeed a big to-do method, far from the disease hence the name is “aggressive surgery”.
This is very complex and requires a high risk. This is because it was possible chance of death in the same issue within one month. Tools pleural pneumonectomy is a general rule, the young, healthy and are able to tolerate the operation.

Palliative procedure
Palliative procedure, as a general rule, be executed only if the cancer is advanced in form. These procedures are for controlling symptoms of the disease rather than cure. Pleurectomy (also kernels) is the process to surgically remove the pleura. This method can reduce pain, cancer of the body and can also prevent the recurrence of pleural effusion (collection of fluid, which in enormous difficulty breathing). For patients with peritoneal mesothelioma, surgery total distance of all of the tumor is not quite possible. In this case, the operation aims to extenuate the symptoms, such as ascites,

Chemotherapy
Is the method of chemotherapy, drugs ago, for the treatment of the disease. It was observed that this method is partly successful. This is because the patient recovers partially after using drugs or a combination of drugs (in fact, the effectiveness of this method increases if the combination of drugs are used together.) Some of these combinations have proved their worth and to develop new drugs for the treatment of these cancers.

Radiation Therapy
With this method, the tumor is killed, in doses of radiation. However, with the help of this procedure, the killing of tumor cells is quite difficult. This is because that is difficult, in particular, look for malignant cells. In addition, heart, lungs and other institutions May surround the same, and they are on the risk of damage by the radiation dose. However, low doses can be used for the disease to some extent.

Dual therapy
Both are chemotherapy and radiation, in conjunction after the execution of the operation. Helping both in the death of all tumor cells that are not far from surgery and May of that helps relieve symptoms such as chest pain.

The methods of treatment described above, opportunities for direct treatment of a person suffering from mesothelioma. However, doctors and researchers are always looking for new opportunities to treat mesothelioma. The need for the development of other treatment options for patients with mesothelioma, is due to the fact that the complex nature of different types of cancer, and because patients react differently to different types of health care.
Some of them are as follows:

Immunoagumentive treatment (IAT)
The objective of the IAT is to strengthen the body’s immune system clean. The same ensuring a balance between the four proteins in the blood.

Intra-operative photodynamic therapy (IPT)
This treatment method used to cure early stages of mesothelioma in the chest. IPT used drugs and light to kill cancer cells during the operation. A drug that tumor cells more sensitive to light is injected into a vein for several days before the operation. During the operation, the light is particularly used for cancer.

Gene Therapy
This is a unique method, in which researchers from the body trying to improve the natural ability to fight against the disease, or cancer cells more sensitive to other types of therapy.
