In this contemporary era among all the diseases, cancer is considered as a threat to human civilization. Though with the advancement of medical sciences several new treatments have been discovered, but till now there are some forms of it, diagnosing and treating which are really difficult for the oncologists. Mesothelioma is a perfect example of such cancer.
This rarest from of cancer is usually detected in the last stages because its symptoms resemble with those of others. At that stage, treating the disease becomes very difficult and curing the disease becomes impossible. Mesothelioma can only be cured if the treatments are started in the early stages.
After detecting Mesothelioma, usually the doctors perform any of the three types of treatments, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Most of the times a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is performed. Around 74.6% success rate has been noticed in this combination treatment. But, it has been proved by the scientists that all these treatments have side effects on the patients. That's why modern science has discovered much advanced and side effect less treatments for Mesothelioma.
The newly discovered treatments include immunotherapy and gene therapy. Under the immunotherapy, the immunity mechanism of the patients is improved which help them to fight against the cancerous cells. On the other hand, in the gene therapy the cancerous cells of the patients are manipulated through genes and converted into virus (like cold) and then the oncologists start performing virus treatment.
No matter whether you are a patient, a near-dear one of a patient or know someone who is suffering from this deadly disease, go for or suggest the person to go for these treatments which have huge possibility to relieve a patient from sufferings and if started in the early stages then these can even cure a patient.
