Common Treatment Options
Not all mesothelioma treatment plans are the same. Some patients may respond better to drug treatments like immunotherapy or chemotherapy while others may be good candidates for surgery. There are a number of treatment options to discuss with your doctor as well as clinical trials for consideration with your treatment plan. We are happy to answer any question you have about mesothelioma treatments.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy provides a boost in the immune system, which makes it stronger and helps it target mesothelioma cells more effectively. These “targeted treatments” may be beneficial because they only attack the mesothelioma cells and cause no unintended damage to healthy cells.
Chemotherapy
The go-to treatment for any type of cancer, chemotherapy is the traditional way to kill off cancer cells in the body. Mesothelioma requires certain chemotherapy solutions to be effective.
Surgery
Patients whose mesothelioma has not spread too far may be eligible for surgical treatment. This is the best way to remove large portions of affected tissue.
Resources for Those with Mesothelioma
Exposure to asbestos is the primary cause of mesothelioma. Inhaling or ingesting asbestos causes these microscopic fibers to get lodged in the lining of the chest or abdomen. Over time, the fibers cause tumor development because the body is incapable of expelling the fibers. Get Help Today!

Get Help Paying for Treatment
A diagnosis of mesothelioma can be both emotionally and financially devastating. A typical treatment plan often includes immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. Often, even the very best insurance will not cover 100% of these costs. You and your family should not have the added stress of worrying about how to pay for these treatments.
Most people pursue claims against asbestos trust funds that were established for mesothelioma victims to avoid depleting their savings and to pay for everything that insurance does not cover, such as travel to medical appointments, in-home care, and other everyday living expenses.
