Abstract
A Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer that affects the protective tissues covering the lungs and abdomen. The major clinical manifestations include shortness of breath, cough, tiredness and weight loss. Exposure to asbestos is the common risk factor for mesothelioma. Diagnosis was done by chest x-ray, MRI, and lung function tests. A Biopsy was needed to confirm diagnosis of mesothelioma. Chemotherapy is the only treatment that helps in survival. Combination of cisplatin and pemetrexed is proved to improve quality of life. Treatment regimens involving immunotherapy have yielded variable results.
