Title: Mesothelioma & Life Expectancy
Mesothelioma is an aggressive type of cancer. Without treatment, most patients have a life expectancy of less than a year. We have to take care of ourselves and our loved ones, especially those who are the most vulnerable around us like our seniors, where factors like the long latency period between asbestos exposure and the development of mesothelioma, most mesothelioma patients are older when they’re diagnosed. A study published in 2019 showed that overall survival for pleural mesothelioma patients who didn’t receive treatment was 10 months following diagnosis. For peritoneal mesothelioma, the life expectancy without treatment has been reported to be approximately 4 months.
