A full-fledged procedure for treating pleura mesothelioma has still not been developed
. Doctors are trying to develop a treatment that will be able to completely remove the cancer cells from the body. Treatments involving the use of a needle to drain out the accumulated fluid from the chest and abdomen are also being tried. In general, treatment options for mesothelioma include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. The treatment will be decided on the basis of the size of the cancer cells, location and the extent to which they have spread. The chances of survival of people with pleura mesothelioma are very less.
