Though mesothelioma is an extremely rare form of cancer, there are many physicians and medical centers that have dedicated themselves to providing care and relief for those who have the disease. There are three medical treatment options that are most frequently used:
- Surgery
- Radiation Therapy
- Chemotherapy
The type of mesothelioma that you have been diagnosed with, along with the stage to which your disease as progressed, will have a great deal to do with which option is used. Frequently, doctors recommend a combination of the three to provide better results and reduce the patient's discomfort.

In some cases the medical treatments that are provided to mesothelioma patients are offered through medical facilities that offer clinical trials. These are procedures or medications that have not yet received FDA approval, but offer hope for scientific breakthroughs.
In addition to medical treatments, most mesothelioma teams recommend a variety of alternative treatments to help the patient and their loved ones cope with the stresses related to this difficult diagnosis. Popular treatments include hypnosis, acupuncture, massage therapy, as well as the services of counselors and nutritionists.
