Treatment for Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Surgery: In the case of peritoneal mesotheliuoma, an operation called laparotomy is generally performed. This surgery involves the opening up of the abdominal cavity to remove a part or whole of the tumor.

Chemotherapy: In a procedure called intraperitoneal chemotherapy, cancer fighting drugs may be placed directly into the abdomen.
