Peritoneal Mesothelioma Prognosis

Some studies have found that men live an average of seven months after being diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma, with some patients living up to 100 months. Women, on the other hand, generally live for about nine months after diagnosis, with some living up to 49 months. Prognosis is generally better in patients whose mesothelioma is diagnosed early and whose symptoms are less severe. The cell structure of the tumors can also play a part in life expectancy, as well as treatments selected.
