Palliative Procedures Palliative surgical techniques are those which treat the manifestations of mesothelioma, without forcefully treating the sickness itself. 

- Chest Tube Drainage and Pleurodesis is viewed as the most widely recognized of palliative medications. Liquid develop, or pleural radiation, is regularly the primary side effect which will provoke mesothelioma patients to look for medicinal consideration.
