Where is Mesothelioma Likely to Spread to?

Malignant mesothelioma is a rapidly progressing cancer that is usually not diagnosed until the late stages of cancer. Staging is a system for indicating how far the cancer has spread. Treatment options and prognosis greatly depend on the patient’s stage of mesothelioma.
Currently, pleural mesothelioma is the type most likely to be staged, as it occurs more frequently, and therefore has been studied more extensively. Staging is based on the results of the patient’s diagnostic procedures such as blood tests, biopsies, imagining tests, and physical exams.
