subject: Peritoneal Mesothelioma [print this page] may go through radiation therapy to shrink the tumors.
Most mesothelioma patients need to have cytoreduction surgery (CRS) that removes as much of the cancerous tissue in the abdomen as possible, thus reducing the "bulk" of the cancer which is also called "debulking" surgery.
Many peritoneal mesothelioma patients may elect to participate in palliative treatment that do not attempt to cure a patient it rather work to mesothelioma relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life for them.
