This time I try to explain what is Surgery is all about, in addition to mesothelioma, as we knew that surgery is commonly used in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma. Many doctor may remove part of the lining of the chest or maybe his patient abdomen and some of the tissue around it. But it sometimes part of the diaphragm, the muscle below the lungs that helps with breathing, yes this is the vital part,and is also removed. Depending on how far the cancer has spread, a lung also may be removed (pneumonectomy). So there is some of the most commonly used surgical treatments of mesothelioma cancer as is follows :

• Pleurectomy or Peritonectomy
• Pleurectomy/decortication
• Pneumonectomy (new-mo-NEK-to-me)
