New and emerging treatments for mesothelioma beyond traditional therapies like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are being studied. These include anti-angiogenesis drugs to prevent tumor blood vessel growth, immunotherapy to boost the immune system's ability to target cancer cells, photodynamic therapy using light-activated drugs, gene therapy to modify cancer-related genes, and virotherapy which uses engineered viruses to attack tumors. Alternative therapies may help with side effects but should be discussed with doctors, as some can interfere with cancer drugs.
