Mesothelioma treatment, particularly surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, can have long-term effects on patients’ health and well-being. These may include respiratory impairment, cardiovascular complications, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine abnormalities, musculoskeletal issues, neurocognitive changes, and increased risk of secondary malignancies.
Patients should undergo regular follow-up evaluations and screenings to monitor for late effects and receive appropriate interventions to manage and mitigate long-term complications. This enables them to get the reliable help they need to make an informed decision about the treatment options and seeking legal and medical information as and when needed.
