Mesothelioma Treatment at Swedish Cancer Institute
At the Swedish Cancer Institute, their medical team of oncologists, pulmonologists, and surgeons work together to deliver individualized treatment to each of their patients. This center is considered to be one of the top cancer centers in the country. It specializes in treating patients that have all different stages of pleural mesothelioma.
– Swedish Cancer Institute
Since no two mesothelioma cases are the same, the staff at the Swedish Cancer Institute work directly with their patients to develop the best treatment plan for them. In many cases, a patient may experience multimodal therapy. If it is determined safe, the institute may treat them by taking a trimodality approach.
The Swedish Cancer Institute may also use “SMART” Therapy. During this type of therapy, a patient receives radiation over a span of 5 days. After radiation treatment, they will have surgery. Following surgery, the patient may or may not receive chemotherapy treatment. “SMART” Therapy has been proven to increase the survival rates of many mesothelioma warriors.
