What is a Multimodal Treatment?

Mesothelioma is rarely treated with a single treatment method like radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery. Patients with mesothelioma are commonly prescribed a course of treatment from a multi-modality approach which combines a variation of traditional treatments, both curative and palliative. It is important for patients to be proactive concerning their treatment options. In many cases, it will be possible for a patient to take some time in order to make this important decision.
