Mesothelioma Treatment Options

There is three options for Mesothelioma :

Surgery (taking out the cancer)

Chemotherapy (using drugs to fight the cancer)

Radiation Therapy (using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)

People diagnosed with this disease are often told the expected survival rate is only eight to twelve months. However, specialists in treating malignant mesothelioma at the leading cancer centers often have better statistics.

Never give up hope that a live can be saved.

Anything that increases your chance of contracting a disease is considered a risk factor. Some examples would be strong exposure to sunlight as a risk factor for developing skin cancer, or smoking as a risk factor in developing lung cancer. In the case of mesothelioma, the primary risk factor is exposure to asbestos. Nevertheless, just as not everyone exposed to sunlight or smoke gets cancer, the same holds true for exposure to asbestos.

My Father-in-law died cause of being exposed to asbestos. Everyone should be aware being around asbetos can be one of the melotherelioma causes.

Kywoman News is talking about several different subject. Please come back often and see what I have to discuss next.
