This is most deadliest Cancer:Mesothelioma , Which survival rate is very low
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive form of cancer that primarily develops in the lining of the lungs (pleural mesothelioma) or the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma). Caused by asbestos, mesothelioma has no known cure and has a poor prognosis.
There are three main types of mesothelioma, named for the areas of the body where they originate: pleural (lungs), peritoneal (abdomen), and pericardial (heart)
Diagnosis
Once someone starts experiencing mesothelioma symptoms, a doctor will order tests to learn more. Diagnosis usually starts with taking images (X-ray, MRI, etc.) and may include blood tests. However, the only 100% accurate way to determine if mesothelioma is present is to do a biopsy.
Diagnosis helps doctors ascertain how the disease is likely to progress and decide what types of treatment will be most effective.
Prognosis
Prognosis refers to how doctors expect the cancer to progress in mesothelioma patients. It is determined by a number of different factors based on the disease characteristics and the patient’s medical history. The prognosis for mesothelioma is almost always poor, as it is so often diagnosed at a late stage.
Survivorship
The long-term survival of mesothelioma patients is rare. However, new detection methods and emerging treatments are giving people better chances of surviving longer after diagnosis.
Everyone defines survivorship differently. The most important thing for all survivors is making sure they know what it means for themselves. This means accessing resources to help you survive through — and beyond — this terrible disease.
