Is there a cure for mesothelioma?

No. Some treatment methods are described as curative, which means they attempt to cure the disease. However, there is always a risk of not being able to remove the cancer that characterizes mesothelioma, and thus, not curing the disease. Many other treatment options are palliative, which means they attempt to reduce or eliminate the pain and symptoms of the disease.
