The mesothelioma treatment by conventional therapies has not proved effective and patients have a life median survival of 6 to 12 months after diagnosis.
The degree of malignancy of the tumor depends on several factors including the total mesothelial surface of the pleural cavity which promotes the importance of local metastasis via exfoliated cells, and invasion of underlying tissues and other organs in the pleural cavity. Another factor involved is the period of extremely long latency between asbestos exposure and disease development.
