The treatment of mesothelioma will depend on how or if the disease has spread. At the time of writing, there is no cure for mesothelioma, unless it can be removed by an operation. Sadly, by the time mesothelioma is diagnosed, it has usually already spread beyond the point where it can be removed surgically. More often, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is used to try to control the symptoms and to slow the growth of mesothelioma. http://www.asbestosis-mesothelioma-information.com/treatment.html 5F9981B5-FB84-4907-93FC-2E9F89633047 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:53:40 +0100 Mesothelioma is not easy to diagnose simply because the early signs and symptoms are not unique to the disease and can be subtle at best.

The symptoms are frequently dismissed by people who tend to attribute them to every day ailments. Quite often, patients will live with the symptoms of mesothelioma for several months before diagnosis. http://www.asbestosis-mesothelioma-information.com/symptoms.html 6EB715AA-FE5E-40CE-939D-4557715D4730 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:42:43 +0100
