Diagnosing Mesothelioma

Symptoms of Mesothelioma - related lung disease could be as follows, although there can be other causes for such symptoms:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Pain to the chest or abdomen
  • Fluid in the lungs, also know as 'pleural effusions'

Investigations which may be undertaken include:

  • X-ray
  • CT Scan
  • Lung Function Tests
  • Biopsy

Treatments which may be administered include the following, although this is by no means an exhaustive list:

  • Radiotherapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Alimta

If you have not already done so, please ask your doctor about these investigations.

We can also through our own Experts carry out further investigations and send these to your doctor.
