Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

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.
