Mesothelioma Medications
A mesothelioma treatment plan commonly includes one or several drugs that aim to stop the spread of cancer and shrink existing tumors. These medications may be used in combination with treatments like surgery and radiation therapy. This combination approach, called multimodal therapy, attacks the cancer in multiple ways for the best chance of killing cancer cells and shrinking tumors.
Each medicine falls into one of a few categories based on how it works against cancer – the main categories of mesothelioma medications are chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, photosensitizing and anti-angiogenesis. While many of these drugs are still in testing phases and are only available through clinical trials, some chemotherapy drugs have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in treating mesothelioma.
