Treatment for malignant mesothelioma has not been found, but the people affected by this disease still prefer to undergo treatment with a mixture of methods or participate in various clinical trials. Various kinds of mesotheliomatreatment techniques regularly performed with surgical procedures, drug therapy, and radiation therapy.
Although this treatment is most often found, you can find other treatment options that are now growing in popularity. Several treatment options, which are gene therapy, immunotherapy, and photodynamic therapy.
The different surgical procedures performed on patients with malignantmesothelioma there are 3 types of palliative surgical procedures, surgicalprocedures diagnostic, curative surgical procedure. Palliative surgery aimed at reducing the symptoms and eliminate all cancer cells. However, this type of operation is not recommended.
The purpose of curative surgery is to remove as much mesothelioma cancer, hoping this type of therapy to fully heal. Curative surgery is usually followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Diagnostic surgical approach intended to do with finding facts or not the existence of cancer in patients. This procedure is an addition that can help identify where the location of the cancer, if found, the diagnosis of mesothelioma is usually still in the form of non-invasive.
Chemotherapy drug given intravenously with the aim to destroy cancerous tissue.Mesothelioma Cancer cells grow very fast and chemotherapy would be more effective if given promptly.
Radiation therapy is done by comparing drug therapies, which aim to destroy cancerous tissue and limit the spread of cancer cells are much as possible. This is also called "ionizing radiation" and is usually used after surgery. The mechanism works with palliative care are also aimed to relieve pain caused by disease.
Photodynamic therapy is usually used if the cancer is malignant mesothelioma is still small and less effective for metastasis.Therapyi photodynamic cancer therapy requires intravenous drug that cancer cells will be killed due to certain vulnerable.
This gene treatment is still experimental d? N requires a person to be infected by an h? virus that will make a change genetically. The virus gets into the cause of mesothelioma cancer cell protein production. Some time after the virus infects a person who has changed genetically, will be given a chemotherapy drug that does not damage normal cells, but was able to kill cancer cells.
Immunotherapy is given under on the immune system of individuals trying to destroy cancer cells. With the Active Immunotherapy of individuals, malignantmesothelioma cells to be removed which is then used to produce vaccines. The person who injected the vaccine, will have an immune system capable of recognizing "malignant mesothelioma cell vaccine" as a hazardous substance, so that the cancer cell itself is known as hazardous substances.
