Some factors are applied to decide mesothelioma life expectancy of the patients and each patient is totally different case. It develops gradually in finding of chance to life expectancy for mesothelioma patients, so the life expectancy for the patiens is better nowadays than few decades ago.
For most mesothelioma patients, the usual range of life expectancy when they are diagnosed is from 4 up to 18 months. However, that is not exact measurement. Each patient is different and some even live for 5 years after struggling.
The life expectancy can vary depends on the certain conditions below:
Stage of the disease
The point at which it is diagnosed
If mesothelioma is located or advanced (separate)
Age of the patient
Patient's general health
Types of treatment that are feasible for the patient
There is no cure for this form of cancer
The important indicator of how long the patient can make it to live is basically measured from the stage of the cancer itself. Unfortunately, the scientists still can not find the cure for mesothelioma, and once a person is diagnosed by mesothelioma, the longest life expectancy could be 5 years. However, some patients can do more than that if they have diagnosed themselves earlier.
Earlier treatment, aggressive medication. Those two phrases should be use when it comes to life expectancy. Some studies stated that among sufferers whose cancer is diagnosed earlier and treated aggressively, almost half of them experience their mesothelioma life expectancy will be two up to five years. About 5% of them still survive above 5 years. So it is need to diagnose earlier to get long life expectation. We can not avoid the death, but we can make our rest of life with no regret.
