One of the known challenges of effectively treating mesothelioma is the difficulty in properly diagnosing the rare cancer in its early stages. The long latency period after asbestos exposure coupled with nonspecific symptoms often lead to misdiagnosis until the mesothelioma has become more advanced.

Doctors and researchers are always looking for better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat mesothelioma. This means newer forms of treatment such as gene therapy, immunotherapy, targeted drugs, virus therapies, and photodynamic therapy are being heavily tested as treatments for mesothelioma. One of the most promising newer treatments is Sutent (sunitinib malate).
