You will find information about the number of people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year. You will also read general information on surviving the disease. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. Use the menu to see other pages.

It is estimated that about 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year in the United States. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men. It is also more common in white and Hispanic people than in Asian American or African American people. The average age for a pleural mesothelioma diagnosis is 72. The number of people diagnosed with mesothelioma in the United States is no longer increasing as it has been in previous decades, and it is now decreasing slightly in men.

The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of people live at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The overall 5-year survival rate for people with mesothelioma is 10% because it is usually diagnosed at a late stage.

If the cancer is found at an early, localized stage, the 5-year survival rate for people with mesothelioma is 18%. If the cancer has spread to nearby areas and/or lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate is 12%. If the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 7%.

The length of time a person lives after being diagnosed with mesothelioma depends on many factors, including the person’s age. People diagnosed at a younger age often live longer. The type of mesothelioma can also influence survival rates. In particular, some people with peritoneal mesothelioma have a tumor that grows very slowly. People with peritoneal mesothelioma often live longer. People who are able to receive surgery generally live longer than people whose cancer has spread too far to be surgically removed.

It is important to remember that statistics on the survival rates for people with mesothelioma are an estimate. The estimate comes from annual data based on the number of people with this cancer in the United States. Also, experts measure the survival statistics every 5 years. So the estimate may not show the results of better diagnosis or treatment available for less than 5 years. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions about this information.
