The most common ways of treating Mesothelioma include:

l        Radiation Therapy makes use of X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink the tumors. The radiation may come from radioactive materials (radioisotopes) inserted through plastic tubes in the affected area. Sometimes external machines are also used for treating tumors with radiation waves.

l        Chemotherapy makes use of drugs to kill cancer cells; these drugs are either meant to be taken orally or can be injected. In case of Mesothelioma, the drugs may be injected into the chest directly.

l        Surgery is the way to remove cancerous tissue. This is a common procedure for treating malignant Mesothelioma and is known as Pneumonectomy.
