5) Multimodality therapy
As the name suggests, multimodality therapy is the practice of combining surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy to treat a patient who has mesothelioma. However, not all patients are indicated for this line of treatment, and with a larger treatment regimen come more severe side effects.
Follow up
Malignant mesothelioma is a difficult disease to treat, so it is no surprise that the treatment lines available to manage this disease are very tiring for the patient. Therefore, a patient who has underwent surgery or radiotherapy or taken chemotherapy medications should follow up with a nutritionist to figure out a suitable diet that helps him/her heal. They should also visit a pulmonologist to undergo some pulmonary physiotherapy to regain some of the lost lung function and to make breathing easier. Physical activity should also be started as soon an possible as well.
