JobsGujarat- Mesothelioma Survival Rates. About 40 percent of mesothelioma patients survive at least one year. Less than 10 percent survive longer than five years. Patients diagnosed in the earliest stage who undergo treatment have a five-year survival rate of 16 percent, according to the American Cancer Society.Malignant mesothelioma is extremely aggressive and has a long latency period, which means it usually remains undetected until the cancer has reached an advanced stage. There is no cure for mesothelioma, though the prognosis has been slowly improving over the years.Although there is no cure for mesothelioma, if the disease is caught in its early stages, treatment options and outcomes do improve. However, because the time between first exposure to asbestos and diagnosis of mesothelioma is usually between 20 and 50 years, the disease is usually detected when it is advanced.According to the American Thoracic Society, malignant mesothelioma is a fatal disease with median survival time of less than 12 months from first signs of illness of death. ... Once the cancer cells have spread beyond that original location, the mesothelioma is considered advanced and surgery is often no longer an option.According to a recent Mealey's Litigation Report, the average mesothelioma trial award is estimated at $2.4 million. The average mesothelioma settlement is between $1 million and $1.4 million and typically paid by multiple defendants. However, every case is unique.If the mesothelioma has spread to other parts of the body from where it originated, the prognosis is much worse. Once the disease begins to spread, it is much harder to remove the cancer through surgery or kill the cancer cells with chemotherapy.Mesothelioma Life Expectancy. Average life expectancy for mesothelioma patients is 12 – 21 months. How long a patient lives depends on several factors, including age, stage of the disease and overall health. Approximately 40% of patients live past one year, and 9% live longer than five years.
