Doctors and research scientists are still searching for a way to cure mesothelioma or at least extend the life of those suffering from all types of the disease. Because it is almost always diagnosed in its late stages, some patients die within weeks of learning they have the disease. Few last longer than a year.
Diagnostic aids that will result in earlier diagnosis of mesothelioma are currently being tested and other forms of treatment are being surveyed in clinical trials, all in hopes that the lives of mesothelioma patients can someday be prolonged.
