Examples of new multimodal mesothelioma treatments include: Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC): This treatment allows doctors to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly into the chest cavity during pleurectomy and decortication (P/D) surgery, which involves removing the lining of the lung (pleu...
Multimodal therapy is the term for combining multiple treatments, such as mesothelioma surgery and emerging therapies. Doctors can use numerous techniques together to control tumor growth and cancer spread. In most cases, this approach is more effective than either treatment alone. For example, postsur...

Exosomes have emerged as effective vectors for delivering medicinal and functional RNA in cancer treatments, showcasing their potential as therapeutic agents. Failure to properly regulate miRNAs can heighten the risk of GBM growth and, by targeting specific genes, they can either behave as tumour supp...
"Mesothelioma remains a difficult disease to find better treatment options for, so we asked whether high-dose hemithoracic radiotherapy would decrease the rate or delay the time of local recurrence after chemotherapy and radical surgery," says lead author Prof Rolf A. Stahel, from the Clinic and...
The standard treatment for pleural mesothelioma is currently surgery to remove the patient's lung - a potentially debilitating consequence.
