O mesotelioma pleural é um câncer que se desenvolve no tecido que reveste a cavidade torácica e os pulmões. É o tipo mais comum de mesotelioma, representando cerca de 75% dos casos. Embora não exista cura para essa doença frequentemente fatal, os pacientes têm opções de tratamento para ajudar a prolongar suas vidas e limitar a dor e o sofrimento.

Mesothelioma Treatment
Mesothelioma treatment is decided by the stage of cancer and the degree to which it has spread. For early stage cancers which are contained in the thorax can be totally or partially removed by surgical procedures such as thoracotomy, lobectomy, pleurectomy and extrapulmonary pneumonectomy.
This may potentially reduce the recurrence rates although overall survival is not affected. Some surgical procedures such as pleurectomy and pleurodesis can be used as a palliative option where indicated when the patient is not fit enough to undergo major procedures when “cancer” has spread to distant sites.
Mesothelioma treatment is aggressive cancer which develops from the mesothelium found in the lungs (pleura), heart and abdomen. Currently, there is no cure for this cancer but treatment is available to improve the prognosis and quality of life. The standard treatment mainly consists of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Some patients may also seek alternative therapy and experimental clinical trials. In most instances, a combination of these therapies with a multimodal approach is being used.
