Mesothelioma Chemotherapy Options
Chemotherapy Treatments for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma chemotherapy options may be a viable option for patients who are not candidates of surgery or other forms of mesothelioma treatment. This therapy is used to target and destroy cancerous cells preventing them from multiplying. Chemotherapy treatments for mesothelioma are not a curative treatment but it can help with the following:
- Stop the spreading or slowing growth of cancerous cells
- A pre-surgery procedure (i.e. shrink tumors)
- A post-surgery option (i.e. destroy leftover tumors/cancerous cells)
- Eliminate some symptoms including pain
Mesothelioma chemotherapy options can be taken orally or injected into a vein or muscle. Depending on the type and stage of the mesothelioma cancer, a combination of anticancer drugs may be administered. Usually mesothelioma chemotherapy can be given at a hospital, clinic, or at home. However, it is highly recommended to speak with your doctor first to learn what is best for your situation.
