Mesothelioma Survival Rates

mesothelioma survival rates 

“How long can I live with this disease?” is a common query for those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma. Indeed, many patients will turn to their doctor with this question as will their concerned friends and family members. As with most diseases, however, there is no one answer as to the life expectancy of a mesothelioma patient. In general, the mesothelioma survival rate is based on a number of different factors.

 Every case is a little bit different and, although the survival rate for mesothelioma victims has traditionally been grim, more and more patients are living longer with the disease as scientists discover new and more effective ways to detect the disease and to treat it.


Survival rates for mesothelioma patients are dependent upon a variety of factors that may include any or all of the following:

*Mesothelioma Latency Period
*Stage of Disease at the Time of Diagnosis
*Operability of the Tumor
*Age of the Patient
*Co-morbidity with Other Illnesses
*Mesothelioma Treatment Plan
*Area and Type of the Disease
