The most common term is being used is annual number of survival and percent of patients who survive for a year after diagnosis. Researchers also look longer survival which is includes the number of people who survive two, three and more years.

Now there are facts about average Mesothelioma Survival Rate. About 30,000 Americans with Mesothelioma lived during 1999 to 2010 and 40% patients from USA lived to one year and the number decrease with the passage of time as 20% by the second year and only 8% by the third year.
