Multimodal Therapy
Multimodal Theory is a treatment that combines multiple cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. This method is only viable for earlier stages of mesothelioma because the tumor has not had a chance to become as widespread.
It is essential to talk to an experienced oncologist when deciding what treatment to use.
The multimodal treatment uses different forms of therapy, including neoadjuvant therapy, primary therapy, and adjuvant therapy. Multimodal therapy’s success varies case by case. In some cases, it reduced recurrence and extended life expectancy, and some had no effect.
Since multimodal treatment is an aggressive form of treatment, it is not ideal for many patients. Specialists can help manage the side effects and determine if multimodal treatment is the proper treatment for you.
