The doctor is the best person to describe the treatment choices and explain the expected results. The doctor and the affected person can work together to develop a mesothelioma treatment plan that fits the person needs.
Depending on the type and extent of mesothelioma, options may include:
Surgery
Chemotherapy
Radiation therapy
A combination of these methods.
(You can read more about treatment options based on the stage of mesothelioma by going to the eMedTV article Mesothelioma Treatment by Stage.)
Getting a Second Opinion
Sometimes it is helpful to have a second opinion about the diagnosis and the treatment plan. Some insurance companies require a second opinion; others may cover a second opinion if the affected person or doctor requests it. Gathering medical records and arranging to see another doctor may take a little time. In most cases, a brief delay to get another opinion will not affect treatment for mesothelioma.
