Staying positive will benefit your mesothelioma survival rate

Mesothelioma Survival Rate | Mesothelioma Life Expectancy | Mesothelioma Prognosis

The 19th-century British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli said it best with, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Probably the most malicious is the lie of statistics. There are many asbestos cancer patients with mesothelioma cancer who are living full and productive lives, obtaining the right cancer treatment, seeing the best mesothelioma doctors, and have a positive attitude which all impact your mesothelioma prognosis, mesothelioma survival rate as well as quality of life. While it is important for you to realize that you are not a statistic, nevertheless as this a data driven web page, here are mesothelioma survival rates below.

The mesothelioma survival rates and mesothelioma life expectancy are typically 4-18 months, but there have been patients with mesothelioma prognosis who have lived longer than 10 years. Since doctors are finding new ways to treat mesothelioma, the mesothelioma life expectancy will be better today than it was even just a few years ago. Getting the best treatments and staying positive about the cancer treatments you will be undergoing will benefit your mesothelioma prognosis.

Factors involved in determining mesothelioma cancer survival rate and mesothelioma life expectancy:

  • Getting the best treatments
  • Stage of mesotheloma cancer
  • Cancer tumor size, location, & subtype
  • Whether or not surgery is an option
  • Mesothelioma patient's age, health & ability to perform everyday tasks
  • Amount of fluid in the chest or abdomen
  • New clinical drug trials

Mesothelioma is rare but devastating. According to the CDC, 2,669 new cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2022. Asbestos exposure is the only known cause — and compensation systems exist because exposure was widespread and preventable.
