| Radical surgery not really effective in treating mesothelioma cancer. |
Surviving Mesothelioma reports that the intense trimodal
treatment approach, such as extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) does not really
help patient survive mesothelioma cancer.
Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) is a
radical surgical approach for pleural mesothelioma, wherein the diseases
mesothelium is removed as well as the nearest lung, other body linings, and all
or part of the diaphragm. This procedure is followed by a chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The sad thing is, trimodal approach has a high
risk of serious complications and even death, although it also guaranteed longterm
survival for a few lucky patients.
