Comprehensive Mesothelioma Treatment Approaches

The Multidisciplinary Treatment Team

Effective mesothelioma treatment in Houston always involves a multidisciplinary team of experts. This includes oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, radiologists, pathologists, and specialized nurses. By working collaboratively, these professionals assess your unique circumstances—such as cancer stage, cell type, and overall health—to tailor an individualized treatment plan that optimizes your outcomes.

The team’s goals include:

  • Alleviating symptoms and improving comfort
  • Controlling the spread of mesothelioma
  • Extending life expectancy wherever possible
  • Supporting mental and emotional well-being throughout your treatment journey

Communication and coordination between specialists are vital, ensuring you receive seamless and responsive care from diagnosis onward.

Primary Treatment Modalities for Mesothelioma

Surgery

If your cancer is diagnosed at an early stage and you are otherwise healthy, surgery may be recommended to remove tumors and affected tissue. Houston surgeons often perform:

  • Pleurectomy/Decortication (P/D): Removes the tumor and the lining of the lung or chest wall
  • Extrapleural Pneumonectomy (EPP): Involves removal of the lung, nearby linings, and affected tissue

Surgical options can help control symptoms and prolong survival but are most effective in localized disease.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses powerful medications to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. It may be given:

  • Before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink tumors
  • After surgery (adjuvant) to target remaining cells
  • As the main treatment for advanced or inoperable mesothelioma

Combination chemo regimens are standard, carefully managed by your oncologist to maximize benefit and minimize side effects.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy deploys targeted high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells, control pain, and improve quality of life. It may be:

  • External beam radiation, directed from outside the body
  • Brachytherapy, which is less common and uses internal sources

Emerging and Supportive Treatments

Houston’s top facilities are also pioneers in:

  • Immunotherapy and targeted therapy: Cutting-edge drugs and clinical trials giving new hope for some mesothelioma patients
  • Palliative care: Specialized programs that relieve symptoms and offer supportive counseling for you and your family
  • Complementary therapies: Mind-body practices, dietary support, and pain management techniques integrated with your medical care

Your treatment team will discuss risks, benefits, and side effects for each recommended approach—ensuring you make informed choices during your fight against mesothelioma.
