Mesothelioma Survival Rate affected by many factors
including cancer type, cancer stage, patient’s age, gender and race. About 40%
of Mesothelioma patients survive first year after diagnosis. Success of
long-term Mesothelioma survivors depends on nutrition, alternative medicine and
the specially the Mesothelioma specialist. There are some factors described by
the researcher on which survival rate is measured. 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.
Patients want to know that Mesothelioma is really curable but survival depends
on several factors including patient’s age, gender and some other things.
Younger patients have more chances of survival than the
older ones as more than 50% of patients live about one year where younger have
20% chances of surviving a decade where older have only 1%. Researchers found
that women have more potential to cope with the disease as compare to man. An
analytical report by National Cancer Institute’s SEER database from 1973 to
2009 shows that over five year survival rate for women was 13.4% where men
survival rate was 4.5%.
Location is also effect on survival of patients as people
living in the industrial areas are more likely to effect and their survival
rate is lesser. The cellular makeup or the histology of a mesothelioma tumor is
like a predictor of patient survival. There are three types of mesothelioma
cells Epithelial, sarcomatoid and biphasic which are different in their
appearance and behavior also.
