If they suspect that you have mesothelioma, your doctor will order imaging scans of your abdomen and chest. These tests show images of your organs with x-rays or CT scans. These scans can reveal fluid accumulation in your lungs and abdomen (ascites). They can also be used to find mesothelioma tumours and determine if they are spreading.
These tests can reveal a variety of possible indicators of mesothelioma. However the only way to make an accurate diagnosis is by taking tissue samples and analyzing them under the microscope. This procedure is known as a biopsy. A pathologist is an expert in interpreting lab tests and analyzing organs, tissues and cells to diagnose the disease.
It can also grow in the heart. If it develops inside the heart, it's known as pericardial mesothelioma. These tumors are difficult to identify and are more frequent than pleural mesothelioma.
To collect an in-depth sample of mesothelioma, your doctor may insert a needle in the area of fluid buildup and remove only a small amount of fluid. They will then analyze the fluid for mesothelioma cancer cells and look at a piece of your lung to determine mesothelioma tumors.
They may also request blood chemistry tests to determine how well your liver, kidneys, and thyroid are working. One specific test they might conduct is a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test. LDH levels that are higher than normal can indicate cell damage, which could be a sign for mesothelioma.
Treatment
The type of treatment you receive will be based on the stage of your mesothelioma and the type of cells you have. The lung and chest are affected by pleural mesothelioma, and the linings of the abdomen are affected by peritoneal. The majority of patients suffering from pleural and peritoneal cancers will survive between 19 and 21 months following their diagnosis.
The doctor who treats you will conduct an examination and medical history. you to check for symptoms of mesothelioma, including the amount of fluid present in your chest or abdomen. A physical examination may be conducted to determine if the cancer has spread. Other tests include chest x-ray or CT scan to check for the location of the tumor and any indication that it has invaded the heart. A biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma. A surgeon can remove a small sample of tissue from the affected area using VATS (video assisted thoracoscopic surgical procedure) which is a keyhole procedure. Another option is to opt for an instrument-guided biopsy under local anaesthesia. In this procedure, the CT scan is used to guide a tube which is used to remove a small amount of tissue.
Mesothelioma specialists also use blood tests and imaging to determine the best course of treatment. Tests can identify certain substances in your blood which are connected to mesothelioma cells, as well the speed at which your cancer is growing. They can also help them determine if you're a good candidate for chemotherapy, which is often used in combination with surgery or radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy X rays or other forms of radiation to reduce mesothelioma cancer cells. It is usually done in conjunction with chemotherapy and may be administered externally or internally. Internally, doctors treating cancer will inject a radioactive substance that is sealed in seeds, needles or wires in a place close to mesothelioma.

Clinical trials can last for weeks, months, or even years. During the trial participants are given experimental drugs or therapies and closely monitored by experts. Most drugs have to pass various phases of clinical trials before the FDA approves them for general use.
Certain of these studies are examining new types of chemotherapy. The latest drugs are designed to target specific genetic pathways in cancer cells. The results of these studies could aid scientists find better treatment options for mesothelioma as well as other types of cancers.
Researchers are also looking at ways to stop mesothelioma. In studies involving populations at high risk, researchers examine whether lifestyle changes and specific drugs can lower the risk of cancer. Some of these trials examine ways to detect mesothelioma earlier in individuals.
Doctors are also studying surgery and other surgical procedures to treat mesothelioma. These include extrapleural pneumonectomy, which removes the lung affected and pleura. There is also pleurectomy with pulmonary decortication, which removes part of the chest wall and diaphragm, and trimodality therapy, which uses radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy.
Some doctors are also investigating the efficacy of immunotherapy in mesothelioma. This type of treatment involves injecting a mesothelioma patient with an immune system-boosting medication that targets cancer cells. Immunotherapy is a treatment that can be utilized for advanced pleural cancer and to increase the odds of survival. It is also being investigated as a first-line treatment option for peritoneal cancer. A controlled, randomized study of the mesothelioma-specific immune therapy drug tremelimumab has started. Participants are compared with those who were given a placebo. Tremelimumab has a better overall survival rate than the placebo group.
