최신 의학 발전에도 불구하고 중피종은 예후가 좋지 않습니다. 진단을 받은 사람들이 의사에게 가장 먼저 묻는 질문은 “시간이 얼마나 남았나요?”입니다. 대답은 간단하지 않습니다. 평균 기대 수명은 약 18개월이지만 남은 시간과 전반적인 삶의 질은 다른 요인들에 의해 결정됩니다.

중피종 기대 수명과 관련된 요인

생존율과 관련된 중피종 통계는 환자마다 다르며 다음을 포함한 다양한 요인을 기반으로 합니다.

  • Latency period — Simply put, mesothelioma “hides” in the body for many years and decades. When symptoms finally arise, they are often mistaken as respiratory problems. When a diagnosis is finally made, cancer has likely spread to other parts of the body.
  • Stage of the disease — The higher the stage, the fewer treatment options that exist. A diagnosis at Stage 1 or Stage 2 improves the chances of survival for an extended amount of time. Stage 3 or Stage 4 mesothelioma means that the cancer is at a more deadly level.
  • Area and types of mesothelioma — Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of this type of cancer and easier to treat. However, rarer pericardial mesothelioma presents challenges in treatment and a shorter life span for the patient. Peritoneal mesothelioma patients tend to live the longest on average.
  • Operability of the tumor — Surgical procedures can possibly remove a tumor in early-stage mesothelioma, depending on the age and health of a patient.
  • Health — Older patients suffering from other medical problems have a lower survivability rate. Heart and kidney problems and other illnesses can limit treatment options.
  • Treatment plan — An experienced and knowledgeable doctor implementing an aggressive treatment plan can impact the life expectancy and overall quality of that remaining time for their mesothelioma patients.
