What are my treatment options against mesothelioma?

Chemo: Mesothelioma is a deadly tumor that is pretty hard to treat. Your oncologist may work out a plan for you, but chemotherapy seems to be the most effective option. Surgery and radiation still have pretty limited value. Intraoperative heated chemotherapy may be an option to deliver chemo to the tumor in more concentration and heat will destroy tumor cells. Combination therapy is available too.

Combined treatment: A combined surgery-chemo-radiotherapy maybe needed depending upon the stage of the disease. Ideally, you should see an oncologist. Also get data about university "trials" before committing yourself to specific treatment.

Depends: Some mesotheliomas are found early. These are best treated by a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. Most are found when they are too far advanced for surgery, which leaves chemotherapy and radiation. The chances of cure are poor with later stage disease.
