Miskin Law is the leading mesothelioma and asbestos law firm in Canada. We help clients nationwide who have been diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases. This cancer is caused by inhaling asbestos fibres, which can lodge in the lining of the lungs and lead to tumour growth. Many of our clients were exposed while working in industrial settings like factories, power plants, and construction sites.

What Is the Pleural Mesothelioma Prognosis?
The prognosis for pleural mesothelioma depends on the stage of the disease, cell type, and the patient's overall health. If detected early, the patient may live for one to two years. Patients who seek proper treatment may live much longer and be able to manage their symptoms and condition.
Treatments for Pleural Mesothelioma
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the two most common treatments for pleural mesothelioma. If the patient is in overall good health, surgery may also be a suitable option. Surgical treatments for pleural mesothelioma offer patients the best chances for a prolonged lifespan and condition management.
The Stages of Pleural Mesothelioma
Pleural mesothelioma includes the following stages:
Stage One
The cancer enters the lung’s lining but doesn’t spread.
Stage Two
It spreads to other parts of the lung.
Stage Three
Spreading occurs to one side of the chest wall, lymph nodes, and esophagus.
Stage Four
Both sides of the chest become infected, affecting all organs, bones, and blood.
Immunotherapy Treatments for Pleural Mesothelioma
Immunotherapy is a relatively new treatment that uses the body's immune system to recognize, attack, and protect against cancer cells. It may boost the immune response and eliminate the cancer cells' defences. Most treatments are administered through FDA-approved drugs. While immunotherapy can help some patients extend their lives by years, it can be ineffective for others. Still, we recommend talking with your doctor or care provider to determine if immune treatments suit you.
