The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
. The stage of the cancer.
. The size of the tumor.
. Whether the tumor can be removed completely by surgery.
. The amount of fluid in the chest or abdomen.
. The patient's age and general health, including lung and heart health.
. The type of mesothelioma cancer cells and how they look under a microscope.
. Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred (come back).
