Other Treatment Options
In addition to these treatments and home remedies, mesothelioma can be treated with the following procedures:
– Radiation therapy: It uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. This option can be suggested after surgery to remove the remaining cancer tissue.
– Targeted therapy: This procedure uses drugs to attack cancer cells. These medications are not often used for mesothelioma treatment. However, the results from tumor DNA testing can help your doctor suggest this option.
– Immunotherapy: This approach fights cancer cells with your own immune system. In general, cancer cells general proteins to blind your immune system and prevent it from attacking. Immunotherapy can interfere with this process. [10]
