即使有最新的医学进步，间皮瘤的预后也很差。确诊患者向医生提出的第一个问题是：“我还有多长时间？”答案并不简单。虽然平均预期寿命约为 18 个月，但其他因素将决定剩余时间和整体生活质量。

For over 40 years, the mesothelioma attorneys at Brayton Purcell LLP, have stood by clients and their family members during difficult times. Teaming with support staff and investigators, they have built fact-based legal claims to secure maximum and sometimes record-setting compensation through verdicts and settlements.

影响间皮瘤预期寿命的因素

涉及生存率的间皮瘤统计数据因患者而异，并且基于多种因素，包括：

  • 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.

如果您或家人被诊断患有间皮瘤，立即就医至关重要。此外，法律代表对于追究雇主或制造商对石棉暴露形式的疏忽的责任也很重要。
