Immunotherapy
This type of therapy uses the same power of the human body’s immune system. Currently studying the possibility of using immunotherapy as a treatment of mesothelioma.
Gene Therapy
In studies of gene therapy for cancer, the goal is to improve the body’s natural ability to deal directly mesothelioma, or make cancer cells more sensitive to other types of therapy.
Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is radiation therapy applied within the body, unlike that from a machine outside the body. The radioactive sources are placed inside or near the tumor, and to give strong doses of radiation exposure to the tumor while reducing exposure of surrounding healthy areas. This precision helps to minimize side effects.
