Cancer centers near you and abroad. Mesothelioma is a rare disease and it can be difficult to treat, you may be treated by a team of several cancer doctors rather that a single doctor. If you have pleural mesothelioma, for example, you may be treated by an centers oncologist or cancer specialist; a thoracic surgeon, who specializes in surgery in the chest; and a pulmonologist, who specializes in lung treatment.

When you choose a doctor, you may be limited to doctors who are associated with your medical plan. If this is so, your medical insurance provider will provide a list of doctors who can treat you under the plan. (Most providers have a web site where this information is available.) While there is no certification board for mesothelioma specifically, there are board-certified oncologists who specialize in treating mesothelioma. Generally, insurance providers will pass on any information from individual doctors about the kinds of patients they treat.

There are other sources for information about doctors. If you have a cancer center in your area that is affiliated with the National Cancer Institute, it will provide information about doctors who practice at the clinic. You can find out more by visiting the National Cancer Institute’s web site at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/NCI/cancer-centers

Mesothelioma Treatment Options
Unfortunately, successful treatment options for Mesothelioma are few. Patients have a median survival time of 6 - 12 months after presentation. Here are the conventional ways of treating Mesothelioma from Wikipedia.org


Surgery: Surgery, either by itself or used in combination with pre- and post-operative adjuvant therapies has proved disappointing with a 5 year survival rate of less than 10%. A pleurectomy/decortication is the most common surgery, in which the lining of the chest is removed. Less common is an extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP), in which the lung, lining of the inside of the chest, the hemi-diaphragm and the pericardium are removed.

Radiation: Although the tumor is highly resistant to radiotherapy, these regimens are sometimes used to relieve symptoms arising from tumor growth, such as obstruction of a major blood vessel.
Radiotherapy is commonly applied to the sites of chest drain insertion, in order to prevent growth of the tumor along the track in the chest wall.

Chemotherapy: In February 2004, the Food and Drug Administration approved pemetrexed (brand name Alimta) for treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Pemetrexed is given in combination with cisplatin. Folic acid is also used to reduce the side-effects of pemetrexed.

Immunotherapy: Treatment regimens involving immunotherapy have yielded variable results. For example, intrapleural inoculation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in an attempt to boost the immune response, was found to be of no benefit to the patient (while it may benefit patients with bladder cancer). Mesothelioma cells proved susceptible to in vitro lysis by LAK cells following activation by interleukin-2 (IL-2), but patients undergoing this particular therapy experienced major side effects. Indeed, this trial was suspended in view of the unacceptably high levels of IL-2 toxicity and the severity of side effects such as fever and cachexia. Nonetheless, other trials involving interferon alpha have proved more encouraging with 20% of patients experiencing a greater than 50% reduction in tumor mass combined with minimal side effects

Mesothelioma Treatment Options
Unfortunately, successful treatment options for Mesothelioma are few. Patients have a median survival time of 6 - 12 months after presentation. Here are the conventional ways of treating Mesothelioma from Wikipedia.org
Surgery: Surgery, either by itself or used in combination with pre- and post-operative adjuvant therapies has proved disappointing with a 5 year survival rate of less than 10%. A pleurectomy/decortication is the most common surgery, in which the lining of the chest is removed. Less common is an extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP), in which the lung, lining of the inside of the chest, the hemi-diaphragm and the pericardium are removed.

Radiation: Although the tumor is highly resistant to radiotherapy, these regimens are sometimes used to relieve symptoms arising from tumor growth, such as obstruction of a major blood vessel.
Radiotherapy is commonly applied to the sites of chest drain insertion, in order to prevent growth of the tumor along the track in the chest wall.

Chemotherapy: In February 2004, the Food and Drug Administration approved pemetrexed (brand name Alimta) for treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Pemetrexed is given in combination with cisplatin. Folic acid is also used to reduce the side-effects of pemetrexed.

Immunotherapy: Treatment regimens involving immunotherapy have yielded variable results. For example, intrapleural inoculation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in an attempt to boost the immune response, was found to be of no benefit to the patient (while it may benefit patients with bladder cancer). Mesothelioma cells proved susceptible to in vitro lysis by LAK cells following activation by interleukin-2 (IL-2), but patients undergoing this particular therapy experienced major side effects. Indeed, this trial was suspended in view of the unacceptably high levels of IL-2 toxicity and the severity of side effects such as fever and cachexia. Nonetheless, other trials involving interferon alpha have proved more encouraging with 20% of patients experiencing a greater than 50% reduction in tumor mass combined with minimal side effects
