Subtype: Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is one of the subtypes of malignant mesothelioma and has a slightly worse prognosis than the more common epitheliod type. These cancers are most often related to asbestos exposure. If found early surgical extirpation and chemo/radiation give the best hope for long term survival but that is uncommon.if you know someone with this check eligibility for cash from asbestosmaker

Mesothelioma: Under the microscope , mesothelioma can be classified into 2 major types , epithelioid and scarcomatoid. The sarcomatoid (meaning resembling sarcoma or soft tissue cancer) has a worse prognosis and does not usually respond well to chemotherapy. Hence the best treatment is complete surgical resection when possible.
