Which is the least and the most serious stage of mesothelioma?

Stage I offers the best chances of survival because the disease has an incipient form and can be treated surgically. Most of the patients who suffer from a stage I mesothelioma can undergo an extrapleural pneumonectomy. This is an aggressive procedure, which aims to remove as much as possible of the tumor.

The most serious stage of mesothelioma is stage IV. At this point, doctors only recommend palliative treatment because the cancer has already affected other parts of the body and it cannot be treated with surgery anymore. Palliative treatment is the best option as they focus on the symptoms of the disease, improving this way the quality of life.

We wanted a resource where people who are looking for better help can find it, because one of the issues that I have found is that the diagnosis takes a little bit, some people don’t know if they are diagnosed or not. This is something that it is important enough, that is why I wanted to put the information together.
