Supportive treatment is necessary in patients with malignant mesothelioma to
control pain and shortness of breath. For some patients, it may be the only
treatment offered -- for example, when the tumor is not operable. For others,
supportive therapy may be all they seek, rather than undergoing aggressive
surgery or suffering the side effects of other treatments.
