However, with early detection and aggressive treatment, some patients may experience improved outcomes and extended survival. It’s important for patients to discuss their individual prognosis with their healthcare team to better understand their options and develop a treatment plan that meets their needs. Prognosis and treatment options have changed greatly over the years and there is reason to more options are on the horizon.

Early detection of mesothelioma is important because it can allow for more effective treatment options and potentially better outcomes. Mesothelioma often does not present symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage, making it difficult to treat. However, if mesothelioma is detected early, before it has spread to other parts of the body, treatment options such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy may be more effective in shrinking or removing the cancerous cells. Additionally, early detection may increase the likelihood of being eligible for clinical trials of new and innovative treatments, which could potentially improve outcomes for mesothelioma patients.
