There is no known cure for mesothelioma, current treatment strategies are limited, and there exists no universally accepted standard therapy. Since mesothelioma is an uncommon cancer, it is rarely seen in most medical centers. However, specialists in leading treatment centers who have experience in treating mesothelioma have produced some long-term survivors with patients living 10 years.
Members of the Brigham and Women's Hospital Thoracic Surgery Division have extensive experience in treating patients with mesothelioma. Options for therapy include surgery, chemotherapy and combined approaches, utilizing multiple types of therapy (multimodality). It is important that patients with mesothelioma are treated at centers with expertise in MPM to maximize expertise and allow innovative treatment combinations to be implemented with the greatest chance of success.
