 Surgery for mesothelioma may be done for 1 of 2 reasons: to try to cure the cancer or to relieve (palliate) pain and other symptoms caused by the tumor.

Surgery to try to cure the cancer is also known as potentially curative surgery. This type of surgery may be an option if you are in otherwise good health and the cancer has not spread too far to be removed completely. Unfortunately, even when the surgeon can remove all of the cancer that can be seen, deposits of cancer cells too small to be seen with the naked eye are often left behind. These cells grow and divide, causing the cancer to come back some time after surgery. Because of this, not all doctors agree on the exact role of surgery. In most cases it is not likely to cure you but may extend your life. Still, potentially curative surgery is being done in some major cancer centers, and a few patients who have had the surgery have had long remissions of their disease.

Palliative surgery may be an option if the tumor has already spread beyond the mesothelium and is difficult to remove completely, or if you are too ill for a more extensive operation. The goal of this surgery is to relieve or prevent symptoms, as opposed to trying to cure the cancer.
