Only 20-30% of patients are suitable candidates for surgical procedures in
malignant mesothelioma, and chemotherapy and radiation therapy has met with
limited success. However, many new treatments have been tried in the management
of this disease, using various approaches. Some of these have proved more successful
than others, and many are part of ongoing clinical trials. See Useful
resources for links to clinical trials in malignant mesothelioma.
