Malignant mesothelioma is classified into four types based on the malignancy’s point of origin in the body. Once the type has been distinguished, mesothelioma is then classified by the cancer’s cell type, which is determined after review under a microscope. There are four of these subtypes:
- Epithelioid
- Sarcomatoid
- Biphasic
- Desmoplastic
Biphasic mesotheliomas are both epithelioid and sarcomatoid and comprise approximately 30 to 40 percent of all mesotheliomas according to the American Cancer Society.
