Mesothelioma Doctors and Treatment Centers

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare cancer associated with exposure to asbestos dust. This fatal disease has thus far proven incurable, though millions of dollars of research has been dedicated to the development of new treatment modalities designed to succeed where traditional treatments have not.

The average post-diagnostic survival rate for a mesothelioma sufferer is between one and two years. In advanced cases of the disease, it can be as little as a few months. As there is no current cure for malignant mesothelioma, treatment often revolves around the management and relief of mesothelioma symptoms. This type of “palliative” treatment affords sufferers as much comfort as possible for as long as possible.

Mesothelioma treatment centers throughout the country specialize in the management and treatment of malignant mesothelioma. In addition, these treatment centers focus on research and development of new treatment modalities and mesothelioma drugs. Mesothelioma treatment centers also offer support groups in which sufferers can share their experiences with one another. This type of support can be a great comfort and a source of strength during an incredibly difficult time.
