In addition, symptoms of mesothelioma are very common and often resemble less serious conditions, which may make it difficult in diagnosing cancer. As a result, the prognosis for the majority of patients is lacking, but many doctors may recommend mesothelioma treatment options such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation to help fight the disease.
Mesothelioma cancer, there are several stages, starting from stage one to stage four. Unfortunately, once the mesothelioma cancer has reached stage three or four, not only treatment options become more limited, but is less effective as well.
In addition to cancer stage and patient age, other factors that affect prognosis include:



    
* Types of mesothelioma - pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, pericardial mesothelioma or mesothelioma testicular

* Location of mesothelioma tumor and whether it can be done with surgery
    
* The level of other symptoms, including fluid in the lungs or stomach
    
* Is the patient a smoker or not
