Mesothelioma Life Expectancy

Mesothelioma life expectancy is the projected number of months or years a mesothelioma patient will live following a diagnosis. The average life expectancy is about one year for mesothelioma, but each patient has a unique set of life expectancy factors that could help them surpass this average. Factors like overall health, age, stage at diagnosis and the unique type of mesothelioma a patient has will play a role in their expected life span.
Thankfully, research scientists and doctors have been working to improve the life expectancy for mesothelioma patients for decades. And they've done just that: survival rates for mesothelioma have steadily increased over the past several decades. These numbers are expected to climb in the coming years with recent advancements in mesothelioma treatment. While there is no definitive cure for mesothelioma, patients can elect to undergo specialized treatment or participate in clinical trials that often help prolong their life expectancy and improve their overall quality of life.
