What are the statistics for survival of mesothelioma?

 

If mesothelioma is discovered early on, there is a higher chance of the patient surviving longer than if the patient is diagnosed after the cancer has progressed further. The average amount of time that patients diagnosed with mesothelioma live is 4 to 18 months. However, 10% of diagnosed people live at least 5 years with the disease. There are also cases of patients living 12 years or longer.
