At stage I, tumors remain within the lining of the lung, stomach or heart. You have several treatment options at this stage and are likely to live longer than late-stage patients.
- A few tumors or none are visible.
- Can be treated with therapies like surgery and chemotherapy.
- Life expectancy upwards of 40 months.
Stage I is the earliest and most treatable stage of mesothelioma. This stage has the best prognosis and longest survival rate.
In this stage, the cancer has just begun to form. Tiny tumors develop along the lining of one lung. The lungs and lymph nodes do not have cancer cells. The cancer has not spread at this point.
