Treatment of malignant mesothelioma at an early stage has a better prognosis, then one found later of course but cures are exceedingly rare. it is treated with chemotherapies and multimodality treatments. (a comb of all or some of either surgery,radiation and chemo). median survival is 14.5 months and only 29.6% surviving 2 years

The best management is to avoid it in the first place – which brings in various issues on policies in the workplace, environmental pollution, even basic human rights.
