The treatment program for mesothelioma depends on many factors, including: the stage of the cancer, where the cancer is, how far the cancer has spread, how the cancer cells look under the microscope and the patient’s age and desires.
TIME MATTERS
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.Â
Time matters in a legal sense as well, many states have a mandatory time-frame in which a personal injury case must be filed (aka statute of limitations or SOL), or it is barred forever. Â
