MESOTHELIOMA SURGERY AND TREATMENT

Several types of surgeries exist for treating mesothelioma.

A pleurectomy removes part of the chest or abdominal lining and the surrounding tissue. Physicians most often use the pleurectomy as a palliative procedure to relieve pain and prevent pleural effusion, or the build-up of fluid between the lungs and the chest cavity.

While a surgeon can remove a good deal of the tumor through pleurectomy, the procedure often leaves mesothelioma along the diaphragm and lungs. A more aggressive surgery is pneumonectomy that removes an entire lung in order to remove the mesothelioma.
