The stage of mesothelioma reflects its progression. Knowing the stage of mesothelioma may indicate which treatment option is best. Currently many different staging systems exist for pleural mesothelioma but none exist for peritoneal mesothelioma. Different staging systems emphasize various areas of progression from the lymph nodes to tumor size. Talk to your doctor about the importance of your stage and what that means for treatment. Then, seek a second opinion from another doctor regarding your potential treatment options.
