Malignant mesotheliomas are highly aggressive cancers, usually linked to asbestos exposure.

However, early diagnosis is a challenge because patients may be unaware of previous asbestos exposure or present with non-specific symptoms.

Medical treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy often use much "softer" evidence of success.

During anti cancer treatment (Conventional cancer treatment), it is difficult to protect the healthy cells of side effects caused by the drugs administered. Although the effects of treatment vary according to each patient and the medications used, all cancer patients suffer adverse effects of treatment that affect their skin, look and internal organs. An important part of the work of clinicians and patients is to precisely manage those potential side effects.
